About Us

Our family spans three generations with roots in Berlin, Connecticut. Our matriarch, Jean Mitchell has been shadowed by two additional generations of UCONN graduates with the most recent celebrating careers in Chemistry, Human Resources and post graduate education in Veterinary Science.

Edward and Jean resided in Berlin since the early 60’s and raised 4 children, all of whom graduated from Berlin High School.  Jean was a 1948 graduate of the University of Connecticut majoring in microbiology and Edward graduated from the University of Hartford.

 The Mitchell-King Memorial Scholarship was created by the family of Edward and Jean (Mitchell) King.  It is awarded to a student who has shown excellence and promise in the field of science.
