Society column in the San Antonio Express-News of Thursday, 2 July 1942 documenting the pre-wedding party calendar for Miss Lemoyne Flaherty, the bride-elect of Albert G. Menger. The text gives the wedding date as July 8, 1942 — primary-source attestation of Albert G. Menger’s marriage date.

The party calendar names a thick H&H-adjacent social circle: hosts include Mesdames Henry Mezzetti, John Burkholder, and Gus P. Menger (Albert’s mother) at the Menger home for the June 25 party; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Guerra for the Wednesday-evening garden party; Mrs. P. E. Dickison with Miss Gilmore Nogueira for the Thursday-evening crystal shower; and Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Haines for the July 6 country-home dinner party. Albert’s father Gus P. Menger (chairman of Hoffmann-Hayman) figures by venue and family. Albert G. Menger later became president of Hoffmann-Hayman by 1960 (succeeding Gus P. as president), and the Flahertys’ daughter Ruth Lemoyne Menger later appears in 1962 society notes as an Incarnate Word High School senior.
