Arnold and Newlin: San Francisco 1972

From Whittier we head north to San Francisco. We particularly enjoy the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park and Fisherman's Wharf. 

Unfortunately these slides bled their colors to create blurry images.

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.

Arnold's Story: June 1951

Bill, Hazel and Laura take the train from Los Angeles to San Francisco and then on to the East Coast. They might have taken the Southern Pacific Daylight from Los Angeles along the coast to San Francisco. Then from San Francisco they would have caught a ferry across the San Francisco Bay to Oakland, where they would board the California Zephyr to Chicago and then another train to Boston. The Zephyr featured the Vista-Dome for excellent views of the scenery.

Arnold's Story: October 20, 1950

Normally I do not post empty envelopes, but I suspect this one contained an application and therefore will play a role later in Arnold's Story. Note that the Sanford University School of Medicine was in San Francisco at that time, moving to the present-day campus near Palo Alto in 1959.
