...Louisville, the conquering hero stopped to let New York pay its respects. He stayed with Joe Martin in a Waldorf Towers suite that belonged to William Reynolds, vice president of the Reynolds Metals Co.-next door to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

...Bondy, who had introduced coeducation in Germany. The Roepers joined him in Switzerland, where he and his wife opened a trilingual school; later they set up a U.S. branch (now the Windsor Mountain School, Lenox, Mass.); the Roepers then opened their own school in Detroit.
