McGown Personal, undated, 1934-1994
The McGown Personal Series contains the personal records and correspondence of the McGown family, particularly George Quentin McGown Jr. during the 1940s. From 1942 to 1946, the period during which McGown served in and returned home from World War II, is the most significant period for his personal correspondence. His most common correspondent was his brother, Harry McGown. Items within this series may be with people connected to the boat club, especially from 1942 to 1946, but as they were primarily personal in nature, they were categorized with McGown’s personal series.
