HOWELL AND HEGGIE
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-11-19

A Washington father, who, few
days ago, communicated for the first
time with a 19-year-old daughter
he has never seen, expressed the
hope today that they may be brought
together by a radio program which
specializes in human interest stories.
Robert E. King. 3259 r street
NV, taxicab driver. said today
ut is my fondest wish" to see the
daughter who sought him out with
a persistence which overcame
meager clues, passing years and a
great distance separating the two.
The daughter, now Mrs. Victor
Stogeberg, lives in Denver, and her
father, who remarked soon after his
divorce from his first wife. has two
children by his second marriage,
Eugene, Is, and Tillie. IA.
Soon after his first marriage Mr..
King separated from his wife. The
couple was divorced and Mr.. King
learned only through correspondence
that daughter had been born.
On his second marriage, and
learning that his former wife also
was happily married, Mr.. King de-
cided to close the book perma-
nently" on the early chapter OF his
life.
