Found the WW II recollection of
Quentin Richard Petersen (brother Bertram)
on the internet @
http://www.seniornet.org/ww2/gallery/memories/quentin/armynow.shtml
There is, I believe a picture of Emory and Barabara and their two children on the site. I am not sure who the cousin is and how he is related except that it be the children of Edith C. Nielson Emory's sister.

After graduation I may have been returned to SAACC or I may have been shipped directly to Kirtland Airfield in Albuquerque, NM for Bombardier Training. I entered with Class 44-3 but missed a week or so due to illness and was shifted to 44-4. Here I met my two closest Army buddies, Al Pierard from Arma, KS and Paul Regnier from Minneapolis. We spent what free time we had together.
I knew that my cousin Emory Nielsen and his wife Barbara (Life with Father) had moved to Albuquerque from the East Coast some years back, but I called them only when I had been there about a month and again felt better.
It will be hard to do justice to the Nielsen's generous hospitality, entertaining not only me, but Al and Paul as well, at every opportunity.
A revealing episode worth relating concerns Barbara's assumption that the three of us would have Thanksgiving dinner with the Nielsen family. When this became explicit, I told Barbara that I was disappointed, but we had to fly on Thanksgiving Day. She was outraged and said, "Harry (the base Commanding Officer) wouldn't do anything like that!" I responded by just saying we were all sorry.
