A relative "newcomer" rvith California Frame, Nelson had been the cor.rcern "only" 18 years. A major part of his 60 years in the industry was spent with the old California Door Company, rvhich lvas located near the 16th Street station in Oakland. Nelson logged some 40 years with that company before it closed its doors for good. Nelson then spent a few years 'ivith California Builders Supply before joining California Frame. It 'rvould seem that Oscar is a little oartial to the word "California," so it would be an educated guess that he'll enjoy many years of happiness during his retirement in the Golden State.
