Ivar's... 1905

Ivar Johan Haglund was born to Swedish/ Norwegian parents, Johan Ivar and Daisey Maud, in West Seattle in 1905. Tragically, Daisey died before Ivar was three years old. His father never remarried, chosing to raise his only child alone, helped only by his sister-in-law, Lorena Smith.

Performing came naturally to Ivar, and he was soon performing for his father's friends. He learned to play guitar and sang with a sweet and pure tenor. He continued to display this gift into his adulthood -- minus the youthful tenor -- often singing for visitors to his aquarium and fish stand.
