To: Taylor Brown
I read a review of WING-WALKERS in the AJC and being familiar with that era of early aviation, was eager to read your book. Merle Nelson was my husband’s father. We were aware Faulkner witnessed the tragic accident and have all read PYLON. My husband, William Merle ( Nelson) Chapman, passed away in 2011. He was 9 when his dad died. Bill’s mother remarried and, at age 12, he was adopted by his step-father.
Thank you for remembering Merle Nelson in this novel and for describing the scattering of his ashes as “the faintest shower of stardust.”
I would like to order a signed book for our family. Please let me know how to do this and thank you for telling this story,
Ann Chapman
