A Tribute to an Inspiring Man Who Wanted Us All to Live Our Legend

by Lewis Nelson | 16 Sep 2015 | Career

In early 2013, I was a little depressed with my job. I joined the US Army the day after 9/11 and after serving 7 years of active duty, I moved to the ranks of defense contracting and eventually a government civil service job. To no fault of the mission or the people,...

A lot of Nelson’s made the trip to West Virginia A lot of Nelson’s made the trip to West Virginia today to send off my great uncle Orville (my grandmother’s brother) and comfort my dear Great Aunt Faye. 

Orville William Muska, age 91, passed away on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at the Greenbrier Valley Medical Center in Lewisburg, WV. Born July 7, 1931, in Merril, WI, he was the son of the late Richard and Elizabeth Knoll Muska.

Orville was a member of the Dry Pond Baptist Church. He was a U.S. Army Korean War Veteran and later worked as a trim carpenter until his retirement. He resided in Roanoke, VA, for 25 years until moving back to Monroe County in 1994.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers, Ted, Herbert, and Charles Muska; and two sisters, Edna Johnson and Dorothy Nelson. Survivors include his loving wife of 65 years, Helen Faye Miller Muska of the home; one sister-in-law, Dorothy Siemsen of Wisconsin; and several nieces and nephews.

My partner gifted me a @Swatch for Christmas. I love it. However, it's fitted and the size was a little too big. The return policy was extended through Jan 31st for the holiday season so we sent it back right away and decided we'll re-purchase when I can go to a @SwatchUS store.

A gift this good is a bet you’re guaranteed to win! Happy holidays from Swatch! #Swatch #SwatchHolidays #SwatchBIOCERAMIC

Do any #Charlottesville folks have a thread or link to what happened with #CASPCA? (or with their managing director at least)?

I drove the 810 Virginia Byway yesterday and today... it sometimes helps me remember why I should be thankful to live in Central VA. It really is beautiful out here. Last year I moved right near the 810/626/663/664 intersection. https://dailyprogress.com/community/greenenews/lifestyles/route-810-is-now-a-scenic-byway/article_6bc34326-d602-11ec-850f-df253d8ec30a.html
