Abbott Lawrence Nelson ’41

Abbott died April 5, 2006.

He graduated from New Trier High School in Winnetka, Ill.

Abbott evidently left Princeton the latter part of junior year, but not before joining Terrace Club.

Unfortunately, he did not keep in touch with the class or the University. He did not reply to our questionnaires over the years until he responded for our 50th-reunion book. At that time he worked for the Real Estate Research Corp., which was headquartered in Chicago, and he lived in Glenview, Ill.

Abbott retired in 1983, but had already started a retirement business, Tower Engraving.

Predeceased by his wife, Donna Saxon Nelson, he is survived by his two sons, Randall and Kyle, and his two grandchildren.
