Ben and Mary Nelson were neighbours second to none! It was one of the reasons we enjoyed living on Almey Ave..and Ben was our back yard neighbour. He never complained and didn't even do so when we hit a golf ball at his house (accidentally of course) and it dented his car. We didn't learn that it did dent the car until years later...after he sold it!! Very thoughtful and generous folks! - Posted by: Reg & Donna Wyatt (Friend) on: Dec 04, 2005
