Family Profile: Lowell Nelson

Hello Everyone -

As previously promised, I am going to be sending out a profile on different families over the next year. Hopefully this will spark some interest in those of you still debating on attending, as well as bridge the gap between some families who haven't been in contact for some time. I am starting with our family, since I have a picture as well as all the information already :) Look in the next week or so for the next family to be profiled.

A little update now on Lowell Nelson and his family:

Just celebrating his 60th birthday last year, Lowell is loving life as a husband, father and grandfather. Son of Albin & Helen Nelson, he is the second oldest boy in the family. Still working with telecommunications, he currently is in Las Vegas working on building out the Clearwire Wireless Internet system. While the rest of his family is still in Colorado, he is getting to know the staff very well at Southwest Airlines for his frequent trips home. Also just celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, both Lowell & Kay are enjoying pre-retirement. Kay works for DirecTV as a systems project manager (I think that is her title now!) when not at home playing with her grandson Nicoli.

Stephanie is getting married this summer to a co-teacher at Arvada West High School. Both her and Chuck teach in the science department. She is looking forward to the wedding and starting their new life in her condo in Arvada.

I am enjoying being a mother to a little boy (over a year and a half already) and looking forward to my 3rd wedding anniversary to Kevin. I am taking some time off from grad school as I am changing programs in Clinical Health Psychology. Kevin works as a Piping Designer for an oil and gas engineering company.

That's a little update on our family. We all look forward to seeing you next summer, as the whole family will be in attendance next June.

Hope you are having a great day. Look for the next profile which will be on Dennis Christ and his family.
