- "George Slawson: An American Pioneer" by Harold D. Slosson - Frank Slosson's second son, gifted with a good speaking voice and fine hand-writing, has been the family correspondent.
During school days honors came to Rallh. He was the leading man in his senior class play. In the pre-TV period, townspeople turned out generally to see the play, with local town publicity specially featuring it.
After high school, Ralph attened business college. At that time, in addition to the study of business fundamentals, good handwriting was stressed. However, the Spencerian style came to him, he is without doubt the best penman in the family.
Ralph's first position was with the First National Bank....this bankd subsequently became a branch of the Security-Pacific bank, the second largest bank in California.
Next, Ralph served the Monrovia Building & Loan Company, which eventually became the Brentwood Savings & Loan Assn. of Beverly Hills...He handled property in the Michilinda area near Huntington Drive. Now a shopping center is near there, with the Santa Anita Fashion Center being not far away.
Starting during high school days, Ralph became interested in youth work. Initially he taught a boys' Sunday School class, and for many years he helped the YMCA of that area. Additionally he had served the Boy Scouts in many important capacities.
During World War II, although older than many concerned, he had been with an air force unit in Florida.
Ralph helped his mother, Nellie Slosson, during her declining years. Now he lives in Monrovia with his wife, Gabrielle, who has been one of the leaders in the Monrovia Business & Professional Women's Club. Gifted with a fine voice, Garielle sang for many years in her church choir. She shared another talent by teaching French language students...
