Yet ANOTHER Rolfsrud at Harvard

Yesterday Briggs Rolfsrud Siitari learned that she has been accepted at the Harvard Graduate School to obtain her Master's Degree in Higher Education Administration.

Briggs has been an admissions counselor at the College of St. Catherine since her graduation from there in 2005.

She and husband Bill will move to Boston in September.

According to family press agent Steve Rolfsrud, Bill should be able to transfer within the KPMG accounting firm to their Boston office.

Steve has been recruited to help Bill drive the U-Haul truck to Boston in September. Briggs is the daughter of Steve and Nancy Rolfsrud. She has a brother, Ford, and a sister, Breck.

Congratulations Briggs! Hurry back, and be careful out amongst those East Coast types.

And just exactly who was the other Rolfsrud at Harvard you ask? Why, our cousin Arnold, of course, back in the 60s. Dad's nephew. Speaking of Arnold, just for fun, Google "Rolfsrud" sometime and you will see a ton of references to Arnold and Metha's daughter, Erika Rolfsrud, an actress who kept our family moniker as her stage name.

Among many other things, she's appeared on Broadway, the Lincoln Center, as well as TV's Law and Order and Third Watch. (Gotta watch those credits to make sure they spell Rolfsrud correctly.)
