For more than a half-century, this country retreat, named “Questing” by its owners, was the cherished summer home of Dr. Robert Lehman and, until her passing in 1978, his wife Jane Fraser Lehman. (thetrustees.org)
"Robert Alonzo Lehman, born in Camden, N.J. in 1911, was an ophthamological pharmacologist who had taught chemistry at New York University and invented drugs formerly used in eye surgery. Dr. Lehman retired after selling Campbell Pharmaceutical, the company he started to market his patents. He was elected a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine in 1993." (nycago.org)
