LETTER F – Vaughn Osmond Nixon, 59, manager of Duggan’s Funeral Service in San Francisco, California, poses for a portrait in the funeral home chapel on June 4, 2013. Nixon moved from Grenada to the United States in 1976 to attend the San Francisco College of Mortuary Science, where his two brothers also attended. When recalling his first day in the United States, Nixon said, “It was a Tuesday afternoon and 64 degrees. That’s the coldest I had ever been in my life.”
