I remember Arthur E. Wright visiting A.E. Wright Middle school located in Calabasas, California when I was a student there in the late 1970's. He was elderly and frail by that time, but he loved to suprise visit the school and walk the campass and talk with the students. He was "our" celebrity. He passed away while I attended A.E. Wright middle school and I recall a bronze bust of Mr. Wright being unvieled shortly after his death and placed in the library in his honor. I do not know where his place of burial is at this time.
A short bio found on the web;
"A.E. Wright Middle School is named after English immigrant Arthur E. Wright (1888-1978). Born in Kettering, England, he was a plasterer by trade, with only an elementary education. Mr. Wright and his wife Ella devoted themselves to the children of our community for 45 years. He was a founder of the present Las Virgenes Unified School District."
Arthur immigrated to the US in 1909 and married Ella. They were both 26 years of age at the time of their marriage. In the 1930's Arthur and Ella were living in Pasadena, Ca. where Arthur was a plasterer. He passed away at Age 89. Last residence Agoura Hills, Los Angeles, CA 91301.
