HUSBAND'S BIOGRAPHY
Wikipedia: Thomas Coleman Andrews (February 19, 1899 – October 15, 1983) was an American accountant, state and federal government official, and the State's Rights Party candidate for President of the United States in 1956.

He was born in Richmond, Virginia, to Cheatham William Andrews (1865–1945) a driver who rose to overseer of a livery stable) and his wife (Dora Lee Pittman), although the family also traced its descent from Elizabethan cleric Lancelot Andrewes. He had an older brother, Edgar L. Andrews (1897-1950) and a younger brother, Ramon Washington Andrews (1903–1974). Thomas Coleman Andrews married Rae Wilson Reams (1900–1989), and they had two sons: Thomas Coleman Andrews Jr. and Wilson Pittman Andrews (1929–2012; he would become a U.S. Coast Guard officer and entrepreneur).

After graduating from John Marshall High School in Richmond in 1916, Andrews worked as an office boy at Armour meat packing company in Richmond. He then studied accounting privately, worked with a public accounting firm, F.W. Lafrentz & Company, and was certified as a CPA in 1921. Andrews formed his own public accounting firm in 1922. He went on leave from his firm in 1931 to become the auditor of public accounts for the Commonwealth of Virginia, a position he held until 1933. He then became the accounting member of the Public Utilities Rate Study Commission of Virginia. He also took leave in 1938 to serve as controller and director of finance for his home city, Richmond.

During World War II, as his sons enlisted in the Air Corps and Coast Guard, Andrews served in the office of the Under-Secretary of War as a fiscal director, and in 1942 was assigned to the staff of the Contract Renegotiation Division in the Office of the Undersecretary of the Navy. He joined the United States Marine Corps in 1943, which lent him to the State Department, so he worked as an accountant in North Africa and then was a staff officer in the Fourth Marine Aircraft Wing, achieving the rank of major before his retirement.

Andrews then joined the U.S. General Accounting Office and became the first director of its Corporation Audits Division, then returned to private practice in Richmond in 1947. In addition to continuing to work with T. Coleman Andrews & Company (founded in 1922), he founded Bowles, Andrews & Towne (actuaries and pension fund consultants) in 1948) and Andrews and Howell (management engineering consultants) in 1952. He was active in the AICPA, serving as its treasurer (1926–1927), vice president (1948–49), and president (1950–51), and was also a member of its council and executive committees, including of the GABF, and received its gold medal award in 1947. He was AICPA's representative to the Second International Congress of Accountants in 1926 and chairman of the accounting and Auditing study Group of the Hoover Commission in 1948, then chairman of the Virginia Citizens Committee for the Hoover Report.

He accepted an appointment as Commissioner of Internal Revenue in 1953, becoming the first CPA to hold that office. He left the position in 1955, stating his opposition to the income tax. Andrews ran for president as the State's Rights Party candidate in the election of 1956; his running mate was former Congressman Thomas H. Werdel. Andrews won 107,929 votes (0.17% of the vote),[3] running strongest in the state of Virginia (6.16% of the vote[3]), winning Fayette County, Tennessee and Prince Edward County, Virginia.

While running for office, Andrews was a trustee and visiting lecturer of the University of Virginia's Graduate School of Business Administration (1955–56). In 1965, Andrews retired from his accounting businesses and worked with his sons in organizing a variety of service enterprise firms.

His son Thomas Coleman Andrews Jr. would become a prominent political organizer and segregationist who thrice won election to the Virginia House of Delegates in the 1960s and who supported Alabama Governor George C. Wallace for president in 1968.[

Andrews survived his wife by more than a decade before he died in Richmond and was buried at Hollywood Cemetery, as would his sons. During his lifetime, Andrews received honorary legal degrees from the University of Michigan in 1955 and from Grove City College in 1963. He also received an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science from Pace College in 1954 and an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the University of Richmond, as well as the Department of the Treasury's Alexander Hamilton Award (1955).

AMERICAN ACCOUNTING ASSOCIATION
Thomas Coleman Andrews received his preliminary education in the public schools of Richmond, graduating from John Marshall High School in 1916. While his formal education ended with his graduation from high school, he has received honorary Doctor of Laws degrees from the University of Michigan (1955) and Grove City College (1963), an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science from Pace College (1954), and an honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Richmond (1955).

After graduating from high school he became an office boy at the Richmond branch of Armour & Company, meat packers. From 1918 to 1922 he was with the public accounting firm of F. W. Lafrentz & Company. He was certified as a CPA in 1921 (Virginia), and in 1922 he established his own public accounting firm, T. Coleman Andrews & Company. In 1931, he took temporary leave of his firm to serve as Auditor of Public Accounts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, a position he held until 1933. In 1938 he again took temporary leave of his firm to serve as Controller and Director of Finance of his home city, Richmond, Virginia. In 1941 he again took temporary leave of his firm to serve with the Director of the Fiscal Division in the Office of the Under Secretary of War, and in 1942, as a member of the staff of the Contract Renegotiation Division in the Office of the Under Secretary of the Navy.

In 1943 he joined the United States Marine Corps, which shortly thereafter loaned him to the Department of State to be Chief Accountant and Director of Transportation of the North African Economic Board in Algiers, which assignment he completed early in 1944; he later returned to active duty and became a member of the General Staff of Fourth Marine Aircraft Wing. He was discharged from the Marine Corps as a Major in 1945 to join the U. S. General Accounting Office to organize and become the first director of the Corporation Audits Division, which undertaking he completed in late 1947 and, thereafter, returned to his firm.

He was a founder of Bowles, Andrews & Towne, actuaries and pension fund consultants in 1948, and Andrews and Howell, management-engineering consultants in 1952. In 1953 he retired from his firms to become Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a position he held until late 1955. He was the first CPA to hold this office. In 1956 he was an Independent candidate for President of the United States. In 1965 he withdrew from all his other business connections to devote himself, with his sons, to organizing a series of enterprises in the service industry field.

He was active in professional organizations, serving as treasurer (1926-27), vice president (1948-49), and president (1950-51) of the AICPA. He was a member of its Council and Executive Committee and a member of many of its committees including those of Governmental Accounting, Budget and Finance, and Cooperation with the SEC. He was a representative of the AICPA to the Second International Congress of Accountants in Amsterdam, Holland (1926), and he was chairman of the Accounting and Auditing Study Group of the Hoover Commission (1948). Other professional affiliations included membership in AAA, Association of Government Accountants, NAA, and Virginia Society of CPAS. In 1947 he received the AICPA's Gold Medal Award. Other honors include the Department of Treasury's Alexander Hamilton Award (1955), 1st Award of the Tax Executives institute (1955), and the Silver Medallion of Virginians of Maryland (1955). He holds honorary memberships in Beta Alpha Psi, Beta Gamma Sigma, and Omicron Delta Kappa. He wrote numerous articles for professional journals.

He was active in government, civic, and community service. He was accounting member, Public Utilities Rate Study Commission of Virginia (1933); chairman, Virginia Citizens Committee for the Hoover Report; member of the Board, Richmond Memorial Hospital (1949); president, Richmond Chamber of Commerce (1958); and Trustee-Visiting Lecturer, Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Virginia (1955-56). He served as chairman of the board of many business organizations.

He married Rae Wilson Reams on October 18, 1919; they had two children. In his leisure time he enjoyed golf, hunting, fishing, and growing rhododendrons, azaleas, and kindred plants. He died October 15, 1983 at the age of 84.

Coleman Andrews: A Collection of His Writings
by Robert Bloom John Carroll University

Thomas Coleman Andrews (1899-1983) was inducted into the Accounting Hall of Fame at Ohio State University in 1953. A nonacademic, he was a prolific writer. This very readable book synthesizes selected articles and speeches he prepared on accounting and auditing in the private enterprise and governmental sectors.

Andrews' manuscripts are provided in seven parts of this book: 1) accounting and auditing practice, 2) state and local government accounting reforms, 3) federal government accounting reforms in the General Accounting Office, 4) other federal government accounting reforms, 5) professional leadership, 6) administration of the Internal Revenue Service, and 7) political and personal philosophies.

Self educated through correspondence courses, Andrews began his career in public accounting in 1918. He became a CPA, founded his own firm, and was active in the American Society of Certified Public Accountants, a predecessor of the American Institute. A native of Virginia, Andrews became its Auditor of Public Accounts and later Comptroller of the City of Richmond. He was subsequently appointed Director of the Corporation Audits Division of the General Accounting Office. Serving as President of the American Institute of Accountants in 195051, he bridged the gap between accounting in private enterprise and the government. From 1953 to 1955, he was the first CPA to be U.S. Commissioner of Internal Revenue. After serving in that capacity, Andrews argued publicly to eliminate the income tax.

His eloquent manuscripts from 1923 to 1963 cover a wide range of issues, including: the nature of a CPA, the role of an accountant in the firm, the need for broad based accounting education, accounting for government, and taxation by government. Interesting observations emerge from his writings, as the following quotations reveal:

The C.P.A. certificate was originally conceived as an attestation of fitness to engage in the public practice of accounting, and the reasons for this distinction are more compelling today than ever. Those accountants who do not choose to go into public practice do not need C.P.A. certificates, and it is a distortion of the purpose of the accounting laws to give them certificates. I know of no surer way to maker certain that the designation certified public accountant means what it clearly implies than to make the C.P.A. certificate available only to those who demonstrate that they intend to make their careers in public practice, [p. 37, italics in the original]

The foregoing comment is hypocritical since Andrews used the CPA to his great advantage in government.

Accounting, auditing and financial reporting are merely means to an end. The end in business is accurately informed management, owners and other interested parties. Only when management has accurate information is it in position to reach sound conclusions. In government, the end should be the same. The result undoubtedly would be a reduction of the burden of the cost of government upon the people. This end cannot be achieved unless and until the government uses accounting, auditing and financial reporting as tools of management, [p. 198]

Accounting as a discipline exists to provide information of a financial and managerial nature to be used in decision making.

There should be clear recognition of the distinction between accounting and independent auditing. Contrary to what many people think, the General Accounting Office is not the government's accounting office. It is primarily the independent auditing office…The Comptroller General's primary job is that of independent auditor of Congress. He is not the government's accounting officer, but he is, by law, injected into the archaic and confused accounting situation by being made to share with the administration the responsibility for important accounting determinations. Thus he is called up to review as auditor decisions that he makes as to accounting matters. This obviously is anomalous and improper. The General Accounting Office ought not to have anything at all to do with accounting, except to audit the books and report its findings, opinions and recommendations to the Congress, [p. 203]

Any individual or group who does accounting work should not be allowed to audit such accounting and vice versa. Otherwise, a conflict of interest results.
We aren't living the gospel of democracy and free enterprise today. We are merely preaching it. We have made only half of the combination work, and we've done that superlatively well. Free enterprise booms. But democracy staggers and reels under oppressive debts and inordinate operating costs—both the consequences of political failure, our political failure, yours and mine. [p. 450, italics in the original]

The last quote clearly captures Andrews' political beliefs.

A conservative in politics, he desired to cut government spending and reduce the size of government. Andrews believed in self reliance, common sense, and the work ethic. While he began his career as a Certified Public Accountant, he gravitated to government accounting, taxation, and public administration. A critic and reformer at heart, he emphasized the importance of government stewardship and the need for full and understandable disclosure to the public. Andrews argued that accounting should serve the public interest and that better accounting leads to better government. Those themes recur in his speeches and writings.

THOMAS COLEMAN ANDREWS, SR AND RAE WILSON ANDREWS' GRANDSON

Bain Capital Co-Founder Coleman Andrews Lists Virginia Farm for $7.33 Million. The 1,083-acre property has a balanced use of agriculture, recreation and homestead.

Coleman Andrews, co-founder of private investment firm Bain Capital, is selling his sprawling farm in Central Virginia, which comes with a historic, Georgian-style manor house, for $7.33 million.

Mr. Andrews, who worked at the Boston-based consulting group Bain & Co. in the 1970s and co-founded the private investment business, Bain Capital, with former U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 1984, has owned the property for more than three decades.

"I began to look for a property that simultaneously harmonizes agriculture, wildlife and the homestead in 1985," Mr. Andrews said. "I found this one in early 1989, so it goes back quite a ways."

Mr. Andrews, who is currently chief executive officer and co-owner of RMWC, a commercial real estate lending company, has family roots in Virginia. His grandfather—Thomas Coleman Andrews (1899–1983), who served as commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service from 1953-55 and ran for U.S. President in 1956—was from Richmond.

"As a young boy, I learned two things from my grandfather: deep appreciation of wildlife and how to raise and care for cattle," Mr. Andrews, 66, said. "These two things came together with this farm."

Known as Linden Farm, the property encompasses more than 1,083 acres including a working farm primarily of cattle and wild turkey, six ponds, a wide range of wildlife, a mixture of open pasture and hardwood forest for recreational pursuits.

Over the past three decades, Mr. Andrews has renovated the residential compound, stabilizing the structural elements of the historic brick manor, converting an attached cottage into a three-bedroom apartment and building a four-bedroom manager's house and another guest house.

The compound also has a pool and a pool house.

"The house has stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which I have hiked often since I was 5 years old," Mr. Andrews said. "When I gather with family and friends, with views of those oldest Mountain Ranges, it's very soothing and comforting."

One of the most memorable events Mr. Andrews hosted on the property was an international event for retrievers in memory of Richard A. Walters, a dog trainer, author and director of the North American Hunting Retriever Association. Nearly 150 water dogs, house dogs and gun dogs from the U.S., Europe and South Africa attended the event, he said.

With a conservationist mindset, Mr. Andrews has planted close to 90,000 trees to contribute to the physical beauty of the property and create habitats for wildlife, which resulted in a healthy population of deer, waterfowl and wild turkey.

He's decided to sell the property to downsize. "We always approach the property not as owners, but as temporary stewards, and want to leave everything better than we have found it," he said. "My dream is to see a family who has that same view of responsibility, to make it a place for people to gather and enjoy the outdoors."

Located in Orange, Virginia, the farm is about 45 minutes north of Charlottesville, Virginia, and 90 minutes south of Washington D.C.

WHY THE INCOME TAX IS BAD

Exclusive Interview with T. Coleman Andrews
Former Commissioner of Internal Revenue
_____________
A man who has collected more than 180 billion dollars in taxes for the government comes up with some pointed views on questions that many people are asking just now. Must the American people go on forever with the income tax law? Is it the only way the Government can find to raise the money it needs? Or would it be possible for the U.S. to wipe out the income tax and find some new tax to take its place?

T. Coleman Andrews, who resigned recently after 33 months as Commissioner of Internal Revenue, was interviewed in the conference room of U.S. News and World Report.

Here Mr. Andrews tells why he believes –

• That taxes are too high;
• That the income tax now in law is neither fair nor necessary.

Quote from T. Coleman Andrews
"I don't like the income tax. Every time we talk about these taxes we get around to the idea of 'from each according to his capacity and to each according to his needs'. That's socialism. It's written into the Communist Manifesto. Maybe we ought to see that every person who gets a tax return receives a copy of the Communist Manifesto with it so he can see what's happening to him."

________________________________________
T. Coleman Andrews was an IRS Commissioner for 3 years. He had the following things to say about income taxes after resigning.
________________________________________
"Congress went beyond merely enacting an income tax law and repealed Article IV of the Bill of Rights, by empowering the tax collector to do the very things from which that article says we were to be secure. It opened up our homes, our papers and our effects to the prying eyes of government agents and set the stage for searches of our books and vaults and for inquiries into our private affairs whenever the tax men might decide, even though there might not be any justification beyond mere cynical suspicion."

"The income tax is bad because it has robbed you and me of the guarantee of privacy and the respect for our property that were given to us in Article IV of the Bill of Rights. This invasion is absolute and complete as far as the amount of tax that can be assessed is concerned. Please remember that under the Sixteenth Amendment, Congress can take 100% of our income anytime it wants to. As a matter of fact, right now it is imposing a tax as high as 91%. This is downright confiscation and cannot be defended on any other grounds."

"The income tax is bad because it was conceived in class hatred, is an instrument of vengeance and plays right into the hands of the communists. It employs the vicious communist principle of taking from each according to his accumulation of the fruits of his labor and giving to others according to their needs, regardless of whether those needs are the result of indolence or lack of pride, self-respect, personal dignity or other attributes of men."

"The income tax is fulfilling the Marxist prophecy that the surest way to destroy a capitalist society is by steeply graduated taxes on income and heavy levies upon the estates of people when they die."
"As matters now stand, if our children make the most of their capabilities and training, they will have to give most of it to the tax collector and so become slaves of the government. People cannot pull themselves up by the bootstraps anymore because the tax collector gets the boots and the straps as well."

"The income tax is bad because it is oppressive to all and discriminates particularly against those people who prove themselves most adept at keeping the wheels of business turning and creating maximum employment and a high standard of living for their fellow men."

"I believe that a better way to raise revenue not only can be found but must be found because I am convinced that the present system is leading us right back to the very tyranny from which those, who established this land of freedom, risked their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to forever free themselves..."

T. Coleman Andrews: crusader for accountability in government
Abstract

T. Coleman Andrews was an exceptional accountant whose career during the second quarter of this century spanned professional accounting practice, public service, military service and business management. This paper documents his contributions to accounting and administrative reform through the public-service positions he held in government at local, state and national levels. Earlier work by Flesher and Flesher (1989) focused on his contributions to operational auditing during his years at the General Accounting Office, and these contributions are reviewed here. In addition, this paper describes his later work with the Hoover Commission and as commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service.

POLITICS: THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN
Monday, Aug. 14, 1972
"I would like to look you in the eye and tell you that he wants to run," American Party Chairman T. Coleman Andrews Jr. told the 1,900 delegates to the party's first national convention in Louisville last week. "But he looked me in the eye and told me he was not physically able." Andrews then read a telegram from George Wallace in which the stricken Alabama Governor reaffirmed that he would not accept the nomination or a draft as the party's presidential candidate.

Wallace loyalists were having none of it, and vigorously mounted a "draft-Wallace" movement. Some of the zealots even suggested a conspiracy, charging that someone on Wallace's staff had forged the Sherman statement. "Wallace didn't tell me personally he wouldn't run," said one West Virginia delegate. "Anybody could have sent that telegram."

Chairman Andrews, fearing a possible outbreak of violence, arranged midway through the three-day convention for Wallace to again declare his noncandidacy via a telephone hookup to his bedside in the Spain Rehabilitation Center in Birmingham. The delegates, many of them with tears in their eyes, sat in somber silence as Wallace, his weak voice amplified through two loudspeakers, explained that "I have two open places still draining" and "another big pocket of infection." That convinced enough disbelievers to make the convention seem an exercise in futility.

The delegates nonetheless went through the motions. All but swallowed up in the cavernous Freedom Hall, they dressed in red, white and blue ensembles, sang along when the organist played Yankee Doodle Boy and God Bless America, and dutifully waved their placards (read one: THIS is OUR COUNTRY AND WE AIM TO GET IT BACK —BUY LETTUCE AND GRAPES).

The party platform called for law-and-order, stronger antidrug legislation, more restrictive immigration laws, voluntary school prayer and restoration of full trade with the governments of Rhodesia and South Africa. Other planks opposed public housing, Women's Liberation, busing to achieve school integration, the "no win" tactics of limited wars and U.S. financing of "belligerence in the Middle East."

No amount of speechifying, however, could dim the fact that the American Party, founded three years ago and made up of various state parties that had backed Wallace in the 1968 presidential election, was what one dispirited conventioneer called a "headless horseman." The delegates nominated a lame-duck Republican Congressman from California named John Schmitz for President and Thomas Anderson, 61, conservative publisher of Florida Grower and Rancher magazine for Vice President.
Schmitz, 42, a John Bircher who failed to regain the Republican nomination in the California primary in June, was succinct about his personal platform: "One—foreign. Never go to war unless you plan to win. Two—domestic. Those who go to work ought to live better than those who don't." The sentiments were familiar but, with George gone, the old fire was missing.

Article from: The Washington Post
Article date: April 30, 1997

T. Coleman Andrews III, the front-running Republican in the Virginia lieutenant governor's race, abruptly abandoned his three-year quest for office today, tearfully announcing that a "recent medical concern" had overtaken one of his three children.
Andrews, who appeared with his wife, Susie, at a Capitol news conference, said that for his family's sake, he would not elaborate. "I'd ask you to not ask me to go into the circumstances," Andrews told reporters. "It might complicate what we have to deal with.
"I cannot devote the time and energy that this campaign deserves without shortchanging Coley, Alexa and Abigail," said Andrews, his eyes rimmed with redness as he mentioned ...

RICHMOND -- The Republican Party's longest, best-financed bid to seize the lieutenant governor's seat ended Tuesday when Northern Virginia Republican Coleman Andrews scrapped his campaign six weeks before election day.

The 42-year-old Northern Virginia businessman told a Capitol news conference that a recent medical concern with one of his children requires more attention than a full-time candidate can give.
