Thank you, Orcas community, for your kindness and concern – and let’s set the record straight: John Olson, the “Tree Doctor,” is fit as a fiddle and ready for love.

The island tom-toms must have heard that John’s brother Steven is ill with cancer and somewhere along the line, it got mixed up. John is very sad about his brother’s illness but grateful for his own good health (knock wood) and we are both grateful for the good fortune to live in close community with such kind and caring neighbors.

The Tree Doctor is healthy and hale.

Suzanne & John Olson
