Local spotlight on Timothy Toomey and Bennington ties
GUY AND PAULINE HARMON of Union Street recall a cordial meeting with Timothy Toomey at the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City. The article traces Toomey family roots in Bennington and Bellows Falls, his education at Stonehill College, and his service as a sergeant at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma City, while noting his academic pursuits and marriage to Jean Lutz. Additional notes cover Uncle Ted Toomey’s resignation from Windham College trustees, Toomey banking career since 1930, and a benefit appearance by George Jessel in Pittsfield and a Boston Symphony anniversary ball. The piece also mentions Campbell Soup’s picnic kit and a bridal shower for Susan Grant in South Street.
