VERBATIM: Seattle-based Nordstrom said its former chairman died at his home over the weekend. He was 90. The chain traces its roots back to a Seattle shoe store opened by his grandfather, Swedish immigrant John Nordstrom, and a partner in 1901. Bruce Nordstrom and other members of the third generation took leadership reins in 1968.
