Dear Bonny,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Carl was such a good friend and good teacher. I remember all the good times we had in the Admin dept in the mid 70s. He helped make it a fun place to work.



Carl would find it amusing that, since I was laid off from Koch six years ago, I've been teaching and worked part-time for WSU for three years!



My heart goes out to you, I lost my husband, Keith, last October. I remember you, Carl, Ruth, and Howard attended our wedding in Augusta in '84.



Take care of yourself and enjoy all those grandchildren! That's what Carl would have wanted.

I was a former student of Professor Nielsen at WSU during 1967-1968. His Investment class and Banking class were two of my favorites. My condolences to Dr. Nielsen's family and friends.

I had Dr. Nielsen as a professor at WSU and always enjoyed his classes. A few years later I was invited to speak to his finance classes for a few years was honored to do so.
