Mr. Bellingham was born April 12, 1933 in London, England to the late Helena Riedel & Henry James Bellingham, II. He was raised in Brooklyn, NY and graduated from New York College. When he was 18 years old he became a U.S. Citizen and later joined the Naval Reserves. He was an All-American Swimmer and held many records for the butterfly stroke. After college Hank went to work for Dundee Mills in the New York office. He transferred to Dundee Headquarters in Griffin, GA in 1962.
