“My husband Jan Nelson is celebrating his 70th birthday. He is his family’s jokester, always ready with a pun or comic to share. His grandkids love to hear his stories of his childhood days, especially how he was born a monkey and lost his tail as child. Jan is a proud, caring husband, father and papa and he will be celebrating this evening with family. They all expect there will be a few silly stories to groan at!”
