I remember my dad, Harvey Huston, talking about Mr. Nelson. A well-respected friend who was loved and admired by many. Were we at USC together in the '50's?

My Uncle Doug just told me the sad news.What a wonderful guy!!A gifted athlete, believe me I know from playing tennis with him several times and thinking how did he get to that ball and how the hell did he just hit it by me! His greatest achievement is the fabulous Nelson Clan,what a beautiful family now led by "The Rock" Loretta. Hey Loretta do you think you and Diane and I have one more bowling match in us?

In close to 50 years of knowing Milt I never was in a conversation where no matter what subject came up he was right on top of it, but always humble about it. What a kind, interesting, humble man!! Our deepest condolences to you Loretta and your fabulous family.Milt is at peace and you all will see him again.

Respectfully,

Jimmie & Mary Powers
