Nelda Dury is my great grandmother. I spent most my childhood with her. Every day after school we would go to her house and she was always in the kitchen, and we would do fun activates and games. She always made my stay fun. She would help my sibling and I out a lot. She set our minds in the direction of positivity.  We would go to almost every Folk Dancing event with her and always enjoy the music, food, people, and culture it was really eye opening. It's been 3 years since she passed, and I can't stop to think about her dedication. I hope one day to take after her beautiful personality and dedication in her work. We miss you grandma. Love you always.

Today is Thanksgiving Day, Nov 26, 2020.   Due to the pandemic that is going on around the world, we are having a combined Texas Camp and Kolo Festival (California) virtually--all on computer using a program called "Zoom."  We are watching a slide show of old Texas Camps and many people are chatting about Nelda and how much they miss her.  Many people are life-long dancers because of Nelda.


Nelda Drury was my P.E. teacher when I was in high school in Brownsville and also when I was a student at Texas Southmost College in Brownsville.     I learned many dances from her,   and if I hear the music,   I will likely remember many of the steps.    Those are such happy memories.    I learned today of her death from her pastor,   who was at the church meeting I was attending in Austin.   My love and prayers to all her family.

As a kid, Tia Nelda taking me to the San Antonio zoo and to the school, where she worked, to swim in the pool, the special way that she loved the family and made sure that everyone was included and so dang happy. She got the best from every year that we were blessed with her.
