Site

There has been several people who have asked what is going to happen to the site.  I have talked to Betty and we are going to continue this labor of love.  There is no plan on shutting down and I will continue hosting this site on my shared server.

If you have any recommendations you can send them to Betty or myself.  I have been working on this project for about 5 years now with Art so I do have a understanding on what he was trying to achieve with this site and plan on keeping to the same course. 


Rest in Peace Art!.  We are going to miss you!

Thank you Cecil for standing in for our friend Art. You have big shoes to fill.  We were close friends of his and was blessed to be in his home in April. Art lite up like a Christmas tree when Ken came in.  We sat with him for 8 hours the two days we were there. He never drank or ate, but he sure talked.  One thing we made sure of if it is important to you, is that he believed in the Lord Jesus and had ask Him into his heart.  For this we are forever greatful and know we will be shipmates again. Again Cecil, we thank you for your work and friendship with Art and Betty.  God Bless you and yours.  Sincerely Ken and Phyllis<><

Dear Cecil,
I want to thank you for continuing this website for my dad, Art Nelson. Sadly he never spoke to me or my sister about his experiences on the Algol. Why? I do not know. Maybe because we were girls? Maybe because we were his step-daughters? Maybe because he simply felt uncomfortable talking about his experiences and feelings in those days when we were growing up. Who knows? The one thing I do know is that I have learned a lot about my dad and his past which I regret not hearing from him personally.Although when he was ill and in and out of the hospital he did talk of past memories and cried and had us crying with him, but those memories were a little hazy and confused with illness and medications.  If there is anyone, anyone at all out there that is wondering if they should talk with their children about their past experiences (before it is too late)all I can say is “Do it now!” Don’t wait until it is too late. It is too late for my dad to share his memories with us and too late for us to laugh or cry and hug each other for comfort and support. I thank you Cecil for continuing his beloved project! Sincerely, Dee
