Deef died at his home in England Feb. 7, 2004.

Enjoying his last Christmas, Deef wore his Princeton crew cap. His car’s license plate long had the identification P40 ADK. According to his family, Princeton and the class were always close to his heart during his many years abroad after graduation.

Deef prepared at Kent [Conn.] School. At Princeton he majored in English, was a member of crew and the Travel Bureau staff, and was manager of Cap and Gown.

Upon graduation, he joined Citibank in Shanghai, the city, in his words, offering the “greatest opportunities in the world.” In 1942 he was captured by the Japanese and was held in the Lungwa prison camp for the duration of the war — a “frustration” of forced inactivity.

From 1960-1973 he ran his own business from Paris, “conducting business acquisitions on behalf of American companies in Europe.” In 1974 he started Keyline Security PLC, an industrial-security service company, turning the CEO post over to his son, David, in December 2003.

A memorial service was held at the Seend Church in England and a memorial luncheon was held during the summer at the Devon Yacht Club in East Hampton, N.Y. To David and his family, Deef’s classmates extend their sincere condolences.

DAMON CARTER ’42

The end of an era. Damon, paragon of class secretaries and exemplar of fulfillment in career and retirement, died unexpectedly July 19, 2004, in New London, N.H.

A graduate of Phillips Academy Andover, he majored in English at Princeton, won letters in hockey, and was a member of Charter Club, the Glee Club, and Yacht Club.

Rejected medically by the armed services in World War II, Damon engaged in labor relations at Raytheon Co. In 1945 he married Ann Brittain, who died in 1992. They had four children, Janet, Betsy, Damon Jr., and Steven.

Damon truly enjoyed his career in advertising in Boston. He excelled as an account executive. In 1982, he retired as vice president and director from Humphrey Browning and MacDougal. He and Ann then moved from Newton, Mass., to Warner, N.H.

In our 50th yearbook, Damon wrote, “35 years plus in advertising business strictly training for what I do best — retirement . . .” True to that claim, with Ann’s support and company, Damon developed low-income housing in Warner, attended most of our class functions, gave invaluable direction to our mini-reunions, enjoyed sailing and skiing, and was an avid tennis player. Damon married Ann Walen in 1997 and moved to New London.

Brooks died June 17, 2004, after a brief illness. He was 80 and had lived with his wife, Maggie, many years in Orinda, Calif.

On doctors’ orders, he was not allowed to attend our 60th reunion and this was a major disappointment to him and to us. He thought our 50th was “terrific!” Brooks peppered class secretaries with notes about classmates he’d seen, his work on alumni schools committees, the log cabin he and Maggie built in the foothills of the Sierras (made of “giant Lincoln Logs”), and their trips with their children by camper across the United States and later by themselves, using Elderhostel.

He left Princeton in 1943 with the ROTC unit and was serving as an instructor at Fort Sill when he met Maggie, a Red Cross social worker, through Rob Carlisle.

Our condolences go to Maggie and their sons, Harold “Chip” Brooks Jr. ’69, Tom, and Don. Brooks was preceded in death by a daughter, Margaret Sheldon.
