O'Connor of The Jeffrey Matthews Group; Sue Hill McClenachan and listeners to the Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons Show on Radio 1490 WGCH, FM105.5 Stamford, and WGCH.com anywhere.
After the conclusion of World War II, H. Allen Larsen and his family came to Greenwich. They rented a home at 14 Mead Avenue owned by John Cullen Murphy. Larsen walked to the Cos Cob Station for the daily commute to New York City.
H. Allen Larsen of America's Greatest Generation recently died. We pause today to pay a special tribute to a true American hero.
On the Wednesday, April 8, 2020 broadcast of the Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons Show, Host Jeffrey Bingham Mead featured a conversation with Larsen recorded in February, 2016.
Host Jeffrey Bingham Mead and H. Allen Larsen met by coincidence in Beijing on September 3, 2015. He'll reminisce about his service in China with the Flying Tigers and comment about living in the Cos Cob area of Greenwich -an experience he and his family fondly remembered.

We'll also mark the centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. We portrayed Grace Gallatin Seton (see above).
