Miles Peck Jennings, Sr. was a longtime Bristol resident who graduated from Yale College in 1935 and was known for his love of his family and his active role in the civic affairs of Bristol. He passed away suddenly at the age of 39 on December 13, 1951, and the Bristol Yale Club established a fund in his honor a year later. In 2021, the Fund was transferred to Main Street Community Foundation to continue Miles Peck Jennings’s and Bristol Yale Club’s legacy of assisting students pursuing higher education.
