I just received a copy of the obituary for Dr. Jelden clipped from the Greeley Tribune. I was saddened to learn of his passing. I was honored to have Dr. Jelden serve as my advisor while working on my masters degree. I enjoyed his classes. He always challenged me to do my very best. I chose to follow in his footsteps by attending the University of Missouri - Columbia for my PhD in Industrial Education. While undergraduates, Lois and I had the pleasure of knowing the Jeldens as temporary residents in Jackson Housing where they lived just down the street. The Jelden boys were very young at that time. One memory I would share stems from attending the AIAA Convention in Las Vegas. One afternoon found Mrs. Jelden and I removing our shoes from some very tired feet and putting our sock feet up on the coffee table in the lobby of Cesar's Palace where we waited for Dr. Jelden to complete a meeting. I have always admired Dr. Jelden as a Professor, Colleague, and I would like to think a friend.
