View all 19 ReflectionsCommander Nelson, I was a police Captain on duty the day you conducted the evacuation of Candlestick Park, and was amazed at your calm command. I kept a picture of you framed on my office credenza for years after that.
Today is Martin Luther King Day, 2021, and as I reflect on black heroes in my lifetime, your story immediately comes to mind. You were, and are, one of my all time heroes, regardless of race. Rest in peace my friend.
