“Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award” Winner - Jim and Joan Nielsen
1998
was a very good year for San Clemente because Jim and Joan Nielsen decided to move closer to family. These true team players bring high quality standards
to everything they do, and “no” isn’t part of their vocabulary. Retired from federal law enforcement, Jim ran a successful forensic accounting and investiga-
tions business. Joan has deep roots with the Assistance League of Capistrano Valley (ALCV) and the American Association of University Women (AAUW). It didn’t take Joan and Jim long to jump right into the community they adopted. Jim is a leader
and inveterate fund raiser for many San Clemente organizations. Both are equally active in: the DBA Car Show; the Friends of San Clemente Beaches, Parks and Recreation; Oceanfest; and Court- ney’s Sand Castle. As Treasurer and Board member of Courtney’s Sand Castle Charitable Founda- tion, Jim’s leadership helped the organization meet their $450,000 fundraising goal. Jim also serves in leadership positions for: Carnival Colossal; Friends of San Clemente; San
Clemente Ocean Festival; San Clemente Chamber; San Clemente Junior Lifeguards’ “Raise the Bouys” fundraising; and the San Clemente Open Surf and Skate Competition. Joan’s list of projects is as encompassing as Jim’s. You’ll find her chairing the San Clemente
Friends of the Library “Meet the Authors” luncheon committee and helping in the book store. Joan and Jim have five grandchildren, three in Forster Ranch and two in Mission Viejo. Joan loves being available to her family and spending time with all five.
34 SAN CLEMENTE JOURNAL Don Glasgow takes the mic after being introduced by last year’s recipient Denise Sutherland.
Don Glasgow Took Home the 2013 “Citizen of the Year” Award
D
on Glasgow says he’s ”retired”, but when you realize how involved he is in San Clemente, it’s hard to believe he’ll ever really be retired.
Don’s first project in San Clemente was collecting golf clubs for returning Marines. He collected
over 65 complete sets and 6,000 golf balls. Next, he went on to raise $8,000 for Courtney’s Sand Castle thru the Beaches, Parks and Recreation Foundation’s Fall Carnival. Don currently serves on the Board of Directors of Fish for Life, helping enhance the lives of special needs children. Working hard is natural to Don. He labored as a field hand from the age of eight-years-old in
the small town in Missouri where he was raised. At 20, he joined the army before finishing college at Bowling Green University. Eventually graduating with a BS in 1960, Don went into the furniture and retail industry, working for Barker Brothers and other similar companies as an overseas buyer. That experience gave him respect for other cultures. “Hearts Helping Hearts” grew out of Don’s experience building homes for impoverished fam-
ilies in Mexico. He and his organization collect medical equipment, clothing, shoes, toys, hygiene supplies, and anything else to make life better for the poor in Mexico. This year he decided to add collecting used bikes and helmets to this project. So far he has collected 60 bikes. “My goal is 100 bikes. Let's see what happens!”
