L. O.

 Kathleen's Dad, Leonard O. Neilson, died too soon, two and half years before Stan married his daughter in 1980. But he would have been a fun father-in-law. A recent upgrade of bedroom furniture, brought to light again these carefully saved pre-wedding photos, revealing a man of many interests. These keepsakes are now committed to the iCloud, giving Leonard some kind of permanent remembrance, an upgrade from the dresser drawer at least. He loved his St. Paul backyard of flowers, his cars, his hi-fi, his family. A good man, only briefly met, but known always through his loving daughter.
