Our classmate Nelson succumbed to leukemia at Siteman Cancer Center on April 21st. Nelson will be missed by our classmate, his long time wife, Leslie Bright, and several other family members, including his older brother Don ( Mary Pillsbury) and sister Royal, KHS64. Nelson was an A student (graduating in the upper 10% of our class) and athlete, plus being an all 'round great guy! Well, nevermind that once, at Nipher I think, sitting behind me in class, tugged a bit on my long hair, whispering that if those holes in the desktops had ink bottles as they were designed to hold, he could dip my hair in the ink - his wink made me believe he would probably have done it too!!! When I learn of a proper obituary, I'll publish it here. Rest in peace and love Nelson. Another of the good guys gone way too soon.
