Arnold's Story: September 12, 1949

Bill is planning his trip to Boston. He is willing to stay at the Statler Hotel (now the Boston Park Plaza), the Hotel Bellevue or the Parker House Hotel. He always stayed in the best hotels. (I recall his wife Hazel continued that tradition as we traveled with her through Denmark, Germany and Finland in 1970; she insisted on paying all the hotels for the family so she could get the quality she enjoyed.)

Here is one of the few times any family member used a nickname for Arnold — here "Arn" — though later in life he always went by "Arnie".

If Bill saw the Yankees plan the Washington Senators (featuring one of the greatest baseball players of all time, Joe DiMaggio), it certainly would have been in the original 1923 Yankee Stadium.
