Dear Nelson, I wanted to take this opportunity to recall some of the great memories I have from being assigned in India with you & Elaine in the early 1980’s. Unforgettable — when you programmed your laptop to be used in Hindi — I’m still wondering how you did that! Also I have an image in mind of you on a bicycle with the laptop strapped on back, I don’t think I dreamed that. And I believe there was a solar rice cooker that you had a hand in. Not to mention your more recent work on recycling styrofoam. Your poetry & sermons & books & models are deep and greatly appreciated — they are a wonderful part of your legacy, along with your inventiveness and your drive to be in mission. You have been a great inspiration to me. Email says you are in ICU. I am praying for you & Elaine, my dear friends. With much love, Nancy Trask On Fri, Feb 24, 2023 at 3:50 PM Richard Alton via OE < oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Nelson called from the hospital a while ago to let us know that he is back in….now in Intensive Care. Then he put us onto Elaine.
We had a lovely brief visit with them in their home this past Monday. Things took a turn the next day or so.
Keep them in your care as they journey through this next phase of the cancer. I think they would appreciate hearing from colleagues.
Lynda and John
