John Jabbs has died
.
John Jabbs, Class of 1957, died on March 2.I remember John as a tall, friendly young man who always was pleasant and ready to help. He was involved in at least two "exotic" hobbies while at CAHS - astronomy and photography. Believe he also was an Eagle Scout.
While at the Boy Scout Camp Mountain Run in the mid-Fifties, he was our leader in the open-air outdoor shelters where we slept. He had a nice way of helping to keep the noise down. He also had a portable radio which serenaded at night us with Whatever Lola Wants, Naughty Lady of Shady Lane, Lisbon Antigua and other memorable songs of the time.
Rest in peace, John Jabbs. His obituary follows:

Mr. Nelson passes away
Mr. Eldon Nelson, our 9th grade Pennsylvania History teacher, has passed away. I remember him as a quiet, gentle and effective teacher who cared deeply for his students and never sought to embarrass them, even if they offered a laughably incorrect answer (as I once did when he asked me to define "melting pot").
Following is a brief death notice from Gant Daily:
Eldon L. Nelson, age 85, of Masonic Village, Elizabethtown, formerly of Clearfield, passed away on Jan. 31, 2012. Mr. Nelson was born on Feb. 23, 1926 in Madera, PA.A graduate of Bigler Township High School and the Pennsylvania State University, Mr. Nelson received his Masters Degree in Education. He retired from Clearfield Area School District in 1987 as a Guidance Counselor after 38 years as a teacher and served one term as President of the Clearfield Education Association.
Mr. Nelson was a member of The Presbyterian Church of Clearfield.
He was a proud U.S. Navy Veteran of WW II, having served in the Pacific Theater.
Mr. Nelson’s interests included numismatics, fishing, bowling and crossword puzzles; and he was a Penn State alumnus and avid football fan.
Memorial contributions may be made to Masonic Village, 1 Masonic Dr., Elizabethtown, PA 17022 or The Presbyterian Church, 119 N. 2nd Street, Clearfield, PA 16830.
Rest in peace, Mr. Nelson.
