My graduating class was 1963. Don Nelson was a gentleman who connected with students with kindness and wisdom. I saw him once again at a reunion and his friendly smile never changed.

Dear Jim, Pete, & family, While I haven't seen your dad for many years,(the last time might have been when I interviewed for a summer Diver Ed. job which I still have), I still remember what an unbelievably nice, easy-going person he was and how I always felt good after talking to him. He will be sorely missed.

My sincerest condolences to the Nelson family for the loss of a truly fine man. As a 1978 graduate of Arlington High School, I had the great pleasure of knowing Mr. Nelson as the very respected principal of the school. He was very involved in the lives of the students and helped create a great environment for the school. He will be remembered by the many people whose lives he had such a positive affect on for many years.

Mr. Nelson was a model for the modern educator. As a graduate of AHS and an educator myself for 40 years, I often took inspiration from his dignified and caring manner.

My condolences to Mr. Nelson's family from myself and my mom, Helen Manna. He knew everyone by name. Many years after graduating (1962) I saw Don in a store and he immediately knew who I was.
