Lex duPont was a great help to me in helping me to gather, write, and provide information in the writing of a book of The DuPont Manufacturing Company, Incorporated. Anne and Lex were always cordial to my visits. Lex offered to teach me to fly, but graduate schools always interferred. He is sorely missed.
Respectfully,
Adam Wm. Fisher, Ph.D.

Anne... My thoughts are with you at this time of your grief. Having lost Alice 5 years ago I know your mind will turn daily to those many happy years you and Lex had together. I trust your children will help fill that void.
Fondly.... Charlie Hober

Lex, Thank you for the New Garden Airport. What fun we always had out there! When I was going to school in Philadelphia I would now and then bring a friend home for the weekend and I would take her there and we would go flying! What a treat for my friend who had never been flying before. I grew up in Landenber on Newark Rd. so the airport wasn't far from my home and it was always a beautiful sight to see the bi planes sliently floating over our home. The air shows! Such fun! You were always such a warm and friendly person and I will remember you. Thank you for being you.

My condolences to Lex's family.
Although I only met Lex once at his parents home in the 1950's, (his motor cycles were impressive) we had something in common. Absent his mother, Jean Kane Foulke duPont, neither of us would have existed, as his mother courageously saved my father when he was a young boy. As my Dad told it, she, at her peril, saved him from the swift running mill race after he had carelessly fallen in and was in danger of drowning.

Lex and Ann were always so kind to me and my husband, Doug Fearn, who hangars his Piper at N-57. I'll always be grateful for their generosity in allowing us, our daughter and our dog to stay in their beautiful historic home on the New Garden Flying Field grounds while they were in Florida and we were waiting for our house to be built. May their memories of this one-of-a-kind man, husband and father bring comfort to his friends and family. Lex has "slipped the surly bonds of earth" and now his ceilings are unlimited.
