Arnold and Newlin 1952

I start a new set of correspondence about Arnold Nevis and his soon-to-be wife Newlin Ashmore, roughly 1952–1960. 

Arnold had been interning at Stanford University Hospital since July 1951. Newlin had moved to San Francisco in 1951 after graduating from Duke University Nursing School and holding a couple of nursing jobs in Atlanta and Tallahassee. She took a job as a nurse at Stanford University Hospital; one morning after the night shift, Newlin was touching up her lipstick, and Arnold, coming onto the 7 am shift, make a crack about her "repairing the damage". Newlin retorted, "yes, want some?" Arnold replied, "no thank you, I prefer mine second hand".

Arnold's sister Laura pointed out that Arnold's ex-girlfriend had been Lynn, so it was appropriate for him to date Newlin now.
