Biography

The following is from Family Information as written by Katharine M. McClinton

I was born on January 23, 1899 in San Francisco. When I was less than a year old my father and mother went to Europe for two months and left me with Aunt Pan. I had three half-sisters (all went to University of California): Margaret Morrison Wilson, Esther Morrison Davisson (Malcolm’s mother), and Josephine Morrison Anderson Gwinn (daughter Elizabeth married Lind and had two sons, one was Stephen Lind). As a child I played with Hellen Wills Moody in Winters. Her Aunt Helen Anderson married Richard Kahle’s counsin, Ed Renke.

I attended Stanford University and graduated in the class of 1921. There I met Richard F. Kahle (Julie’s father), who was a law student, and we became engaged. (He had been in World War I and after the war stayed in France for a few months attending Grenoble University and travelling in France on their tennis team.) However, I wasn’t anxious to be married and went to New York, where I got an M.A. from Columbia University and a Teacher’s Certificate from Teacher’s College at Columbia. Then I came back to California and took a job in the decorating department of W.J. Sloane, living with Aunt Katharine until I was married in September 1923 and moved to San Diego.

In San Diego I was on the Board of the San Diego Museum of Art (also lectured there); took classes and lectured for the University of California Extension; taught a class in Design at San Diego State College one semester; wrote a series of articles on San Diego houses for the San Diego Union; wrote an art column on the San Diego Sun (a Scripps newspaper) for several years; was on the Board of the Philharmonic Society; was a member of the University Club, the Wednesday Club and also the Women’s Board of the 1935 Exposition (which was how I met Pop, who was with the Ford exhibit at the Exposition).

Julianna (Julie) was born in July of 1929, after I came back from Europe. I took a trip to Mexico with Margot Rocle and left Julie with La while I got my divorce. After the divorce I took Julie on a trip to Mexico.

I married Harold L. McClinton (Pop) in the Chapel at the Exposition in Balboa Park on October 20, 1935. We lived in Detroit for a year, moved to New York City (952 Fifth Avenue), then Bronxville (140 Park Avenue and 40 Avon Road) and then back to 952 Park Avenue in New York and finally bought the house at 361 New Rochelle Road at the entrance to Siwanoy Country Club. We were also members of the Field Club in Bronxville.

I wrote books under the name of Kahle in California then changed to Katharine Morrison McClinton on moving to New York. I also worked at McCall’s magazine for about one year.

I have had a very interesting life. In San Diego, through my painting and art interests, I met important musicians such as: Jose Iturbi (Jean Dalrymple), Mary Martin, Enzio Pinza, Lily Pons, Andre Kastelanetz, Helen Hayes, Fritz Reiner, Oscar Levant, Gian-Carlo Minotti, Joshua Heifitz, Jimmy Durante, Peggy Lee and many more. We entertained them and went to their houses and I had boxes for their concerts. Also Pop had them all on the Ford Sunday Evening Hour (on radio) and the Bell Telephone Hour, which he produced (on television).

After Pop retired we went on his jobs with Executive Services Corps to Istanbul, Turkey; Bogota, Columbia; and Nigeria. We stayed three months in each place and took tours of Europe on the way home.
