He was bora July 12,1938 to George and Francis (Hol- lister) Nelson. His early early years were spent in New York City and Quogue (Long Island), N.Y. His high school years were spent at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., and he later studied English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. - From his early adulthood, he had a passion for adventure . and flying. He enjoyed flying gliders and small engine planes ^ttdventure, travel and flight were important from an early age and continued '^"S^out his life. In 1959 he joined his father in the building ^ American National Ex- ^ 2^^ h'h hibition at the World's Fair in/I Moscow. He later enjoyed hisi W\\'^/wSlrl Mt interests internationally when he spent the early 1960s as a photojouradist and a soar plane pilot in France. In 1968 he married Marcia Saltford. They jumpstart- ed family life as house parents for 30 boys at Eaglebrook Academy. They added their own child to the family in 1970 with the birth of Keith. Later moving to North Caro lina to.start teaching at Summit School in Winston-Salem, they added to the family with the birth of Jennifer in 1973. In the early 1970s, the Nelson's became members of the Moravian Church with Henry May as their pastor, and giving him a place he could play tuba. Playing in the Eas ter Sunrise services at Old Salem was one of his favorite traditions. Over the years, he introduced many others to this tradition by bringing local middle and high school students along to play. He continued to play iat New Phil adelphia Moraivan' Church, shared his talents with the Baptist in the orchestra of Calvary Baptist, and enjoyed being in several community bands. In the late 70s-80s, he spent several years helping many fulfill dreams of becoming a pilot in a small plane. When his health forced him out of the pilot seat, he returned to the classroom with middle school students, where he taught several years at North Davie Junior High. Never one to say no to adventure, especially if it coin cided with helping people, in 1985 he took part in a Mora vian mission project that took him to Ahuas, Honduras to help build a hospital. In the 90s, he and Marcia became RVers, spending months at a time experiencing ^erica,' from Burning Man to Alaska. He found outlets that instilled leadership qualities in youth. He was active in Boy Scouts beginning as a Scout master when Keith started and continuing for decades later. He spent many summers at Camp Uwhame as a staff member and troop leader. Earlier in his life he was an active leader in Civil Air Patrol. Although he only had two biological children that called him Dad, there were hundreds over the years that looked at him in this role and also called him by the same title. In his later years, he returned to a boyhood passion of model trains, transforming a guest room into a world of O-gauge tracks and locomotives. Once again, discovering , more community in a quirky endeavor. A few years ago, in the midst of health challenges, he fulfilled a dream and jumped once more on the train for a trip across the United States that culminated in a helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon. He was a man with faith and a passion for living who cherished travel, teaching, tubas, trains, planes, commu nity, and family. He understood the .power of education, sarcasm and helping others, and passed all three along to his children, students, and friends. He is survived by his wife Marcia, and his two children Keith (Stephanie) and Jennifer. Teaching was his life. He continues to educate at Wake Forest Medical School. There will not be a memorial at this time. Expect a cel ebration of life this summer. Memorials: make donations to education, music, and artistic endeavors.

She grew up in tobacco farming country in —^ 1 Nash County with no siblings ^di|||||||fe||^^ but surrounded by cousins.

She was active socially, hosting countless bridge parties with friends and was the first to greet a neighbor, friend, or friend she Just hadn't met yet. She was famous within her family for always making them the last to leave church services, because she had to chat, laugh, or just share a moment with everyone. As with most things her family complained about, she happily chose to ignore them and did what she wanted to do anyway. Yet even being the last to leave, she was always the first with a covered dish, a card, a flower arrangement, or just to visit with anyone who needed a friend or support. She never missed a birth day, an anniversary, a graduation, a wedding, or a funeral. She loved her family, her friends, and neighbors with all her heart and was always there for them. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by: her in-laws, Edwin and Ruth Humphrey of Red Springs.
