Arnold and Newlin: 1959

Newlin said they had to get on with life quickly after Eddie's death because they had two young highly active sons not pausing their growth to mourning the loss of their brother. Joel was barely a year old and Allan was three and a half.

Here are slides from the 1959 Rose Parade in Pasadena:

In the summer of 1959 Arnie and Newlin drove to Florida to visit Newlin's family. On the drive back, Newlin's two nieces Linda Langston and Elise Ferrell accompanied them. Linda and Elise experience their first Mexican food in Texas. Also in Texas, Arnie took Linda and Elise to an Elvis concert. On the road trip the family saw attractions such as the Petrified Forest National Park. In California, they visited a mission or two as well as Disneyland.

Relaxing at home in the Nevis apartment in Westwood, Joel observed the adults eating potato chips with dip; not quite getting the dip concept, he shoved one in Linda's mouth with toothpaste on it.

Arnold's Story: January 27, 1948

Arnold's youngest sister Laura writes a thank you note for his Christmas present. She had made cookies and sent them to Arnold. Laura had gone to the Rose Parade and wrote that she had seen Bringing Up Father, a 1946 comedy, based on the comic strip Bringing Up Father by George McManus. Hazel says instead that they were to see a different movie, Life with Father, a 1947 comedy adapted from a play of the same name, which was inspired by the autobiography of stockbroker and New Yorker essayist, Clarence Day.

Lillian Emery Havens Wanless was married to Dr. William James Wanless and published his biography, Wanless of India: Lancet of the Lord. Canadian-born Dr. Wanless was a Presbyterian medical missionary who founded and led a medical mission in India in 1894.

The ROAL club is the Reserve Officers Association Ladies club.
