Arnie and Newlin's second son is born in January 1955. He has blue eyes, unlike all his brothers and his parents, but like his paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather.

Arnold and Newlin: 1955 winter snow

In January 1955 Newlin's sister Sheryl arrived from Florida with her son Bucky to assist Newlin after the birth of Eddie's brother Allan. The photo show the MIT Solar House in the background.

The woman in this photo vaguely resembles Arnie's mother Hazel Nevis,
but I have no record of her visiting Arnie and his family in 1955,
so I suspect she is a fellow church member or distant family from the area

Arnold and Newlin: November 14, 1954

Newlin has flown down to Florida to visit her family in Crawfordville, just south of Tallahassee. Newlin and Eddie flew; Arnie drove down later. (Newlin said that Eddie was usually not much of an eater so she declined the stewardess offer of a second plate of food, but then Eddie ate her whole plate, so she arrived in Tallahassee hungry.) Arnold posted a notice on a community board for a a ride to accompany him (page 2, personal list, number 7). When the three of them return by car, Arnie discovers that Newlin is hopeless at giving directions and routes them somehow through Manhattan during rush hour and they end up stuck on the George Washington Bridge for three hours.
