Photograph(s)

There is a couple of photo's of a Nelson Huckaby that was provided by Ken Claggett. He was a good looking guy.

Death

Ken Clagett's best recollection was that Nelson died from alcoholism, therefore, he died young and wasn't held in, shall we say, high esteem. He doesn't know whether he remembered that from hearing it when he was a kid or what, but that's what he remembers.
