I recently attended an event at The Olive Ann Hotel in Grand Forks, an absolutely gorgeous boutique hotel.
It was built in honor of Olive Ann Beech and the deep tradition of aviation at UND.
The history 🤓 nerd in me was intrigued by its namesake. Beech aircraft?
Incredible life story and legacy. Her picture and quote displayed in lobby:
I like to have around me people who find ways to do things, not tell me why they can’t be done. - Olive Ann Beech
I think Olive Ann was the kind of person everyone deserves to have around.
Today’s Challenge:
✔️Be an Olive Ann
✔️Cheer someone on
✔️Be part of the solution.
The world has enough naysayers. 🌎❤️🩹✈️
