Laura Nelson was a very gifted artist. Her pastel drawings were rich and precise. At an earlier reunion I was pleased to hear she continued in the art field, eventually working for General Mills. When I asked her what she was most proud of, her eyes brightened and she explained she had designed the side panel on the Cheerios box! How many of us saw her work on our breakfast tables, but never knew Laura, our self effacing classmate, had created that panel!
