- Description: In February 1912, the Hawaiian Star reported on Conrad Greer Fry, born in Santa Barbara on April 21, 1910, described as the “baby globetrotter”. Son of J. S. Fry of the British chocolate-making family J. S. Fry & Sons of Bristol, by the age of twenty-one months he had already traveled 72,000 km (45,000 miles). Milestones included cutting his first tooth on the China Sea, learning to creep in Colombo (Ceylon), speaking his first words in Calcutta, and taking his first steps in England. After time spent in California, in 1912 the family boarded the Japanese liner Tenyo Maru, bound for the Orient and then England, to be home in time for the child’s second birthday

J. S. Fry, a passenger on the Tenyo Maru, which arrived here this morning, is a millionaire and son of J. S. Fry, the well-known chocolate manufacturer. This fact, however, seems to be overshadowed by the Fry’s twenty-one months old baby, which has traveled 45,000 miles in its short life.
