AI Notes
Interior of the Duke University graduation invitation begun on page 261. The text is printed in blackletter Gothic type. At the bottom, a hand-written signature in blue ink reads ‘Dee Corbell’ — the graduating student who sent the invitation. Establishes Dee Corbell’s pre-marital life: graduated Duke 3 June 1968, then married Claude Aimé-Gramond at Corbeil-Essonnes, France, 28 March 1972 (book-001/p415).
The signer is Dee Walker Corbell, daughter of Emma Dee Walker Corbell (“Dee,” 1915–1959) and granddaughter of the compiler’s husband’s sister-in-law line — the Corbell branch. The 1968 graduation places her in the same generation as the compiler’s other grandchildren (Christopher Gaillard McEwan likewise graduated in June 1968 — see page 264). She married Claude Aimé-Gramond at Corbeil-Essonnes, France, in March 1972.
