1886: Frank S. Shaw, a descendant of Mayflower passengers, was born in
Bath, Maine, to William R. and Jane Stinson Shaw. In 1914, he would join the
Wall Street firm J.K. Rice, Jr. & Co.
[right: post card solicitation, 1920]
and eventually became a partner. Shaw remain with the firm until 1957,
when he retired for health reasons, two years before his death in 1959. He
would become a good friend of Bill W. and an early supporter of Bill’s stock
market theories. Shaw would marry Elsie Valentine, a close childhood friend
of Bill’s wife, Lois.
1916: The day after Pancho Villa

killing 10 civilians and 8 soldiers, President Woodrow Wilson

ordered an armed force under Brigadier General John J. “Black Jack”
Pershing

to lead a “punitive expedition” into Mexico to capture Villa and prevent
future raids. As a result, Norwich University readmitted and mobilized its
sophomore class in June, who had all been expelled following a hazing
incident in February. One was Bill W.
1939: After a 10-week separation, Hank P. [far left] returned from Bill and Lois W.’s home at 182 Clinton St. in Brooklyn to his wife, Kathleen [near left], at their home at 344 N. Fullerton Ave. in Montclair, New Jersey.
