My Uncle Joe later considered Nelson a "wise guy" when he was in the Army during WW II. One evening sitting on the floor of the living room on the second floor of 1566 Barnum Avenue, Uncle Joe was teaching me how to shoot craps. Nelson eagerly joined in showing off his experience from the Army. With Uncle Joe's help I won Nelson's cheap watch with the first expansion wrist band that I had ever seen. I wore it even when the watch died and even though the wrist band pinched my skin.
