All the news about Elizabeth Taylor sadly dying...Husband Michael Wilding was an Old Blue, wasn't he. What does anyone know about his time at C.H.?

There's a little bit about him in Non-CH Stuff, under the Liz Taylor thread. Not many details though so far.

He was in Maine A between 1922 and 1928. His best friend is said to have been Patrick Parsons (same house, same dates) who became the B-movie star Patrick Holt.
He wrote a little about his CH days in his autobiography Apple Sauce (published posthumously in 1982) but I'm afraid I don't recall any of it. I've a feeling it was a matter of one or two not very informative pages.
Frank Smith (MaA 19-26), formerly Old Blue editor of The Blue, recalled dancing a fierce tango with Wilding in the Maine A dayroom.
