Auction Details
Cary Thompson Estate Plus
Our November auction features the estate of Col. Cary Anderson Thompson, Jr. raised in Lynchburg, VA. During WWII he served as an Army Air Corps communications officer in India. He met his wife of 60 years, Helene Werden, on an Army transport ship to Bombay. Helene was with the American Red Cross. They married in Calcutta in 1945 and spent their honeymoon bear hunting. What followed was a fascinating career leading them to Misawa Air Force Base in Japan where Col. Thompson served as the Air Force Academy's Registrar and as the Security Wing Commander at the base. The auction is filled with many treasures from their travels. The Thompson estate is joined by the personal radio collection found in the estate of Nick Magistro who showcased his collection in his Delray Beach, FL repair shop as well as the living estate of Margaret Williams of Tallahassee who worked with her husband on the Alyeska Pipeline in Alaska. Mrs. Williams has varied collections to be offered at auction. Rounding out the November auction is the estate of Ray H. Mixson, Jr. of Panama City Beach who worked at the Navy Lab from 1951 to 1999.
