View from the Sidelines: The Fans
By in View from the Sidelines: Steve Conway
Sport fans, we all know someone who sticks out as a FAN!  Jim Goetz was at most basketball and baseball games I attended, he enjoyed watching the Bluejays! Vic Swensons, Gordy Larsons, Bob Kiselbachs, Don Wobshalls, and Gene Glynns:  couples who attend together and seemed to be fixtures for years at Waseca sporting events!

My friend Dwain Nelson just passed away! Dwain and Marilyn raised 3 Bluejays: in-turn the grand-kids are Bluejays. The main event was baseball with wrestling a second choice: but soon softball, tennis, and basketball became must see on the social calender. County fairs with the lemonade stand fit in there someplace! Sports and family, work and family, leisure and family, Dwain and Marilyn always included family and friends in their activities.  Dwain suffered the past few years, in case you did not know him, he was the guy in the wheel chair across the gym or field with family nearby watching the game. The Conway kids were blessed to have the Nelsons as friends and fans as well, thanks Dwain and Marilyn for treating my kids like family!  Dwain will be put to rest his week, nice guys finish first!
