Beauty and compassion The late Harry Loy Anderson Jr. was a man of riches, both in his career and in his generous spirit. Banking was in Harry Loy’s DNA. His father was the president of First Federal Savings & Loan, and he followed suit when, at the age of 26, he became president of Worth Avenue National Bank. His love of community lives on in further generations thanks to his role in opening The Academy of the Palm Beaches, today known as Palm Beach Day Academy. In 1978, the Andersons took over the local gift fruit shipping company in Palm Beach Groves. A former model with Eileen Ford in New York, Harry Loy’s wife, Inger Anderson, continues the Palm Beach Groves business, but her compassion and faith drive her inner bottom line. Her causes include the YMCA, Urban Youth Impact, and the Paradise Fund, which her family created to support underprivileged children. Daughter Kristina McPherson’s greatest joy is her children’s laughter. When not working as a realtor, she serves at Family Church on Flagler, is active with the YMCA, and supports First Care, Urban Youth Impact, and the Paradise Fund. Kristina’s twin, Bettina Anderson has modeled for various fashion campaigns, including Sam Edelman. Over the past decade, she’s focused on growing the Paradise Fund and is especially proud of helping build a kids’ community center in Jacmel, Haiti “with our own hands.” She is an adventurer who enjoys diving, flying, and exploring far-flung locales.
