[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Passing of Nelson Stover

[ML Jones]

Dear Elaine and colleagues,

Ken and I were sorry to hear of Nelson's illness and passing.  During the
years of the expanded Kemper Team, the Stovers hosted us in Greensboro.
Nelson took us on "The Universe Walk" around their property and we were
very appreciative of such creativity. Their hosting, participation and
intentional style was an inspiration to all of us. He was wise, steady,
competent and passionate.  We have benefited from his example of
intentionality and collegiality. We are grateful to have worked with him,
Mary Laura and Ken
