Biography
Bill Nellist (MS 1986) reports that during summer 2004, he and his wife, Catherine, traveled to China to bring to America their newly adopted daughter, Fiona. En route to Nanchang, in Jiangxi Province, the Nellists visited Beijing, where they enjoyed seeing the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Great Wall. Their final Chinese destination was Guangzhou, where final documents and a physician's appointment were arranged. By Christmas of 2004, Fiona was walking, running, and beginning to speak English, of course. Nellist is an avid gardener, adding more soil and plants to their backyard garden. Work at the National Imagery and Mapping Agency continues.
