Obituary: At the end of World War II, Bruce Allen was thrilled to be on the train to Oxford University. As the Army sent soldiers to study at colleges across Europe, Bruce, a born scholar, could not believe his luck that his destination was to be the grandfather of all English-speaking scholarly institutions…until, to his surprise and dismay, his train went to a college in Wales, instead. No one had informed him of this change in plans. Over half a century later, Bruce still appreciated, with his characteristic ironic sense of humor, how fate could snatch one dream away only to unexpectedly replace it with something much better. In Wales, by cliffs overlooking the Irish Sea, Bruce met his future wife, , a vivacious young actress from London. For the next 68 years, until his death in Annapolis on 25, 2014, at the age of 89, Bruce adored his wife; he would sometimes stop to gaze at her and praise her creative gifts in contrast to those of “mere mortals.” Born in Manhattan on May 12, 1925, to Leslie Henry Allen and Jean Halliday Allen, Bruce Halliday Allen attended the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, and went on to Harvard University. The war interrupted his undergraduate studies when he was drafted to serve in the infantry in Europe. He returned to Harvard after the war and graduated with an AB in History and Literature, and subsequently earned a PhD in History, also from Harvard. In 1951, Bruce and moved to Rockville, Maryland and raised three children. Bruce worked as an analyst for the CIA, then later for the U.S. State Department, and finally for the U.S. Department of Transportation. For three of his years with the CIA, Bruce and his family lived in Germany. In retirement, Bruce and moved to Annapolis and Bruce taught courses at Catholic University and Southeastern University, where he taught one of the first online courses ever offered. Bruce loved to sail on the Severn River and loved the forest around his treehouse-like home in Annapolis; he loved to hate the Republican Party; he loved Mozart, and loved children. Most of all, he loved to read. He read and re-read many of the works of the great Western thinkers and authors. But in his heart of hearts he reserved a sacred space for J.R.R. Tolkien. When “The Lord of the Rings” was first published in installments, Bruce devoured each new book and achingly anticipated the next. Later, he studied everything by and about Tolkien, including Tolkien’s sophisticated invented languages. Near the end of his life, Bruce’s reading consisted mostly of Tolkien. He would have known the dying words of Thorin Oakenshield, King under the Mountain, to Bilbo Baggins, the reluctant hobbit hero: “There is more in you of good than you know… If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now.” Bruce is survived by his wife, ; two daughters, Jean and Barbara; six grandchildren, Sean, Michael, Benjamin, Nicholas, Jennifer, and Virginia; six great-grandchildren, Latrell, Tyra, Mikey, Liam, Aenea, Zoe, Mason, and Josephine; and one great-great grandson, Treshawn. He was preceded in death by his son David. |
