JD James Nelson:  

Better known as "JD", a nickname I picked up due to having a similar likeness of John Denver, the folk singer, people I've known during those early years will not recognize my real name as listed in Classmates. I tried to emphasize my real name, but looking back, I now know it was an advantage. It kept me from being a "scapegoat" in many situations where my real name would have put me on the radar. But the disadvantage caused me not to recieve credit where credit was due, leaving no paper trail in my life's wake. BBC was still taking baby steps in its growth when I entered its enviornment. Many courses and classes I needed were doubled up for other festivities. Leaving little use of rooms for practice and study. The third floor of the men's dorm was reserved for instrumental/singing practice leaving many music students waiting in line for an empty room. There were curfews as well, simply, because students in the dorms needed to sleep. I lost many key people helping and counseling me. My counselor was murdered in her own home, the activities director had a heart attack, head of the religion dept. was "let go"...Expand for more
