The Clair Nelson Vocational Scholarship Fund was created in honor of the late Clair Nelson. Mr. Nelson served in the U.S. Marine Corps, managed his own trucking business and was a founding board member of the North Shore Trade & Tech Project. He is probably most often remembered by area residents in his role as a commissioner of the Lake County Board, a position he held for nine years. Clair Nelson was a lifelong advocate for education and an energetic supporter of the vocational and technical trades.
