Why we named our son Olney

A little over seven years ago. My wife and I were blessed with a son, and she was gracious enough to allow me to name him Olney. I chose this name because most of my favorite memories were from time spent with my grandfather, Richard Lunsford, in Olney.

Growing up and visiting my grandfather was always special because of the memories he created and time spent with him. Simple things that those from Olney would do every day were the most wonderful memories that are seared in my mind. Going into Olney Hardware, fishing, hunting bullfrogs, and eating Roges hamburgers, are just to name a few.
