Arnold's Story: October 9, 1947

This letter, from Leonard's then wife Pat Nevis to Arnold, shows him now in medical school at Harvard University. I do not have much info about Arnold's sister-in-law Pat. I met her a number of times and enjoyed her company quite a bit (after the she remained good friends with her former parents-in-laws Bill and Hazel Nevis and her former sister-in-law Laura Nevis), but I do not have her maiden name and at the moment I do not recall her married name from her second marriage. And I can not seem to find the date of Len and Pat's wedding.

The Ideal System Company was Bill Nevis's accounting company. He added his son Leonard as a partner after World War II, and sent Leonard and Pat off to New York City to open an East Coast office for the firm. The handsome building at 136 Liberty Street was torn down recently; it stood across from the 911 Memorial in what is now Liberty Park.
