Wish we had a date on the Stanford Alumni Magazine article, as it is a Reliable Source. Would be good to mention he's a 1962 graduate of the school. He may well be the son and grandson of Allen Lawrence Chickering (1900-1996) and Allen Lawrence Chickering (1877-1958), although Ancestry.com is not RS. This could also be coincidence, or collateral, non-lineal relatives. The (possible?) grandfather was the President of the California Historical Society in the 1930s and is mentioned in the article Drake's Plate of Brass.[1] Have found several online references to A. Lawrence Chickering III in legal references, often with a San Francisco connection, and I do believe that squares with this speaker's bio which mentions he's an alum of both Stanford and Yale Law School. He edited and/or was involved with many legal publications in the 1970s but does not appear to be an active lawyer today.
A. Lawrence Chickering has written for National Review[2][3] and for Harper's (a 1979 article under subscription access) with good biographical and professional color likely to be found in those links. Will help as I can, keep up the good start! Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 17:54, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
