Research Facts
Hannah McQueen is a graduate of the Kingston General Hospital School of Nursing Class of 1928; her daughter Kathryn Wirsig is a graduate of the Class of 1962.
Beginning in the early 1800s, J. B. Lippincott had great success as a bookseller in Philadelphia. After a fire in 1899, the company rebuilt and found success again, and in 1960 published Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," which went on to sell over 40 million copies.
