MANUEL C. AVANCENA,
64, a retired Washington attorney and the inventor of the Stenoscript ABC Shorthand system, died of pneumonia May 16 at the Jefferson Memorial Hospital in Alexandria. He lived in Alexandria.
Mr. Avancena was born in Washington. He graduated from the old Central High School and received a law degree from George
Washington University. During World War II, he served in the Marine Corps in the Pacific.
During the late 1940s, he invented his shorthand system, which uses the phonetic abbreviations rather than shorthand symbols. The system is one of several "ABC Shorthand" systems in use worldwide. It is taught in the adult education program of the Montgomery County public school system and elsewhere.
Mr. Avancena began his law practice in 1950 and retired for medical reasons about 1977. His marriage to Valerie Avancena ended in divorce.
Survivors include his wife, Mary Jean Avancena of Alexandria; four children by his first marriage, Solveig Cook of Bridgewater, Va., Carole Lee Lucas of Annapolis, Valerie Smallwood of Arlington, and Jacob M. Avancena of San Diego; three stepchildren, Lynn Browning of Houston, and Karetta Hubbard and Steven Browning, both of Reston, and four grandchildren.
