Sometimes it’s hard to write these posts. We lost cousin Dan Nelson far too young. Dan was born on April 14, 1962 to Leslie and Louise Link Nelson in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On this, his birthday, I wanted to share a few pictures of Dan from the early 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When Louise was killed in car accident in 1969, her two youngest boys, Ron and Dan spent some time living with their older sisters. I have more about Louise in this post<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These first few pictures were from a trip that Carl, Georgie and Walt took down south in the summer of 1970. They stopped in Montgomery, Alabama, to visit some family. At the time, Dan and his brother Rom were staying with their older sister Sandy. <\/p>\n\n\n

In 1971, Ron and Dan were staying with their sister Linda and her husband Frank Gibbons. They traveled to visit Carl and Georgie and the family in Fort Madison and Grandma Link in West Point, Iowa.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dan died on August 12, 2022. He left behind a wife and two children. We miss him and his great joy in life and love of the Arkansas Razorbacks. <\/p>\n\n\n
