Biographical Note

Glenn F. Maughmer (1901-1993), the recipient of these letters, was a 1923 WSC graduate who went on to a lengthy administrative career with General Electric, at various California offices.

Richard Milhous Nixon (1913-1994) was serving California in the House of Representatives when he sent the letter here, having just won a primary for the Senate. The Christmas card dates from that December, after winning the Senate election but before assuming the position. He would be later president of the United States from 1969 to 1974.
