The Haines High School senior class has chosen businessman and school volunteer Doug Olerud as commencement speaker at this year’s graduation ceremony.
Olerud, 44, is manager and part owner of Olerud’s, Inc. He gave the salutatorian address in 1988. He said this week he felt honored to be chosen. “This is one of the coolest things that’s happened to me in a long time. I hope the kids are happy with the job I do.”
