Not sure what to say?

You loved a photo that I made in darkness with a strobe. It was a crystal goblet. That memory sticks with me. I have a lifelong love of quantum physics because of you. Your wave form will vibrate in my thoughts until my own collapse.

I was one of 3 students in a physics class Nelson taught at BUS in 1975. When I saw him last September at the BUS reunion I gave him a big hug and explained the impact he had on my life. From pre-med at Samford to Industrial Management PhD at Clemson he gave me a solid foundation. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I am so thankful I got to see him!

To the Brown family and friends: Sorry for your loss. May the cherished memories fill your hearts with joy and help you cope through the most difficult time.
