Henry P. Andrews ’27

Henry P. "Chips" "Piper" Andrews died July 18, 1997, at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati of congestive heart failure.

Chips came to us from Gilman along with many other Baltimoreans, including Slagle, Egerton, Emmons, Royster, and Gibbs, with whom Chips roomed in Holder. He was publicity manager of Triangle and joined Quadrangle Club.

After graduation, he worked for Lionel Edie & Corin, in NYC, as a security analyst, and later for Haydock & Co., investment councilors in Cincinnati, as a consultant. During WWII, he served as a major in the Air Technical Service Command as a procurement officer at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio. Thereafter, he became an investment account manager for Scudder, Stevens and Clark. He returned to the Air Force at Wright Field during the Korean War. After he retired in 1973, he volunteered at Christ and Children's Hospitals.

In 1943 Chips married Clifton Drury. They had two sons, John and Henry P. Jr. '70; Henry predeceased his father.

A quiet chap, Chips became a fine comedian after one or two drinks. I recall with delight returning from Europe with Chips and Bernard Heyl in 1929. Chips kept the patrons of our ship's bar in transports of laughter. I was very fond of him.

Clifton lives at Apt. 412, 3939 Erie Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45308 (phone: 513-561-8745). To her, John, and Chips's grandchildren, the class extends deep sympathy. We have lost a most entertaining classmate.
