Arnold's Story: April 12, 1950 WEN

Bill asks Arnold to make a surprise visit to the New York office of the family firm to check up on how things are run there.

$400 in 1950 dollars is $4400 in today's money, so quite a generous gift.

Arnold's Story: September 23, 1949

In his fifties age-wise, Bill is at a sweet spot in life where his business efforts have worked out extremely well, so that no longer have financial worries at home or at work. His family is staying on top of their health issues, they have renovated their house in Glendale to be a "modern home" and the family can now enjoy the good things in life.

His company moved from 136 Liberty Street around the corner to 6 Church Street, into a building that no longer exists on account of the World Trade Center complex.

Like his younger brother Arnold, Leonard wants to got to medical school but is not confident he will get in (in part due to mediocre grades from college before the war and in part due to challenges from his current undergraduate studies). Bill urges Arnold to give Len a pep talk to encourage him.
