Obituary for Phillip James Nelson

"I recall Phil fondly, both as a teacher and as a colleague of my father, Donald Scovel, who was Chair of the Social Studies department at MLPH\/NUHS. My father was not handy, and Phil would often help out with small projects, including when my father wanted to build a scale railroad layout in our basement. I also have a great teaching memory of Phil, when we were doing a roleplaying game in class about the struggle between labor unions and the industrial capitalists. He was a great teacher."
