Nels Nelson at a landfill in Ethiopia.
After working in an 89-acre field in central Ethiopia all day, Andover native Nels Nelson returns to his home and writes an email, where he says "for better or worse, I'm a bit of a wanderlust."
Since graduating from Andover High in 2003, Nelson's life has been filled with travel.
The first-graders were fascinated by the young girl on the poster, and especially her face. The young girl was about their age when the poster was created 65 years ago.
I'd been invited to speak on the subject of writing to the first-graders at Shawsheen School, and I was feeling some trepidity, because it is not an age group with whom I regularly speak. Mrs. Susan Infantine, their teacher who'd invited me, had been helpful by explaining where her students were in their sentence development, and I had the help of my granddaughter, Elena Dalton, who was in the class and answered questions I had beforehand.
