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.
