Next came Navy service as an ensign in the ordnance department--he was stationed around the country, largely in the field of ship arming, disarming, and preservation, and won a commendation from the Chief Bureau of Ordnance and various ribbons. He separated as lieutenant after four years.
Coy was an associate member of McKinsey and Co. for 10 years, and next held a succession of jobs as an independent management consultant, retiring in 1976 as president of Westinghouse Home Securities Systems of New England in Windsor, Conn. He moved to Vero Beach, Fla., in 1987.
The Class of 1937

JOHN FORSYTH ALEXANDER '38
When Cy Alexander died Sept. 29, 1996, he and his wife Betty, who predeceased him, had been residents of Cathedral Village, a Philadelphia retirement home, for some years.
Cy came to Princeton as a cum laude graduate of the Haverford School. He roomed first with Bob Kulp, then with Ben Tousley, and with Ted French. He was varsity tennis manager, a member of Campus Club, and graduated with high honors in modern languages.
After getting his law degree from Harvard, Cy entered the Naval Reserve and was on active duty from 1942-46, as a lieutenant senior grade.
Following the war, he practiced law in Philadelphia, specializing in corporate and estate work, a career which continued on a reduced scale when his health and mobility failed.
Cy enjoyed good music, reading, and travel. He did not marry until late in life and has no survivors. We remember him as a man of intellect, a private person, and a good friend. Our sympathy goes to all who were fortunate to know him.
The Class of 1938

ALBERT LOUIS BUTLER JR. '39
Al died May 7, 1997, in Winston-Salem, where he had lived all his life--a life he devoted to making his hometown a better place. In our 50th book he wrote, "I have been blessed with good fortune all my life, for which I am grateful. I have tried to balance this by serving others, but I still have received more than I can possibly give back." And he pursued that goal every day, right up to the moment in May when he was swiftly taken away as the result of a massive stroke.
To call Al a civic leader of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County is an understatement. It is literally impossible to list all the local civic and charitable organizations he served, encompassing health care, education, the arts, the special needs of children, and help for those who could not help themselves. All of this in addition to his business career as president of Arista Mills, a firm he joined in 1946 upon retiring from WWII Army service.
Al's wife, Betty Bahnson, died in 1996. They are survived by their daughter Dianne Lawson, their sons David and Chris, and five grandchildren. With them we hold happy memories of the life Al shared with family, friends, and countless beneficiaries of his generous spirit.
The Class of 1939

SANDFORD GARLAND ETHERINGTON JR. '39
After a brief illness, Sandy died May 20, 1997, of complications from pneumonia and a heart attack.
Sandy saw action with the armored forces for four years during WWII, earning two Purple Hearts for wounds he suffered as he fought from North Africa to Sicily to England, in the continent and Berlin. From that moment on, however, he was able to take charge of his own life. He and Rhea Robotham were wed in 1945, and Sandy began a career as production manager with Pratt and Whitney. There he remained until 1962 when, seeking more of a feeling of usefulness to family, friends, and society, he set out on a new career as business manager of the Ethel Walker School for Girls, a position he held happily for the next 10 years. In retirement he and Rhea settled in their house on a hilltop in South Woodstock, Vt. There he took care of his land, made things in his shop, played golf and croquet, and had time for frequent travel.
To Rhea, their son, Bill '68, daughter Tucker Anderson, and four grandchildren, we offer our sincere sympathy.
The Class of 1939

THOMAS HARRY TAYLOR '39
Only weeks after he was admitted to the Masonic Home in Elizabethtown, Pa., where he had long been seeking a retirement apartment, Tom died May 18, 1997. Freemasonry was an important part of his life, and at the end he sought the Masonic Home's medical help in supervising his diabetic condition. He was well and happy there until in a freak accident he fell, broke a hip, and never recovered.
Tom was born in Pennsylvania but much of his adult life was lived in Seattle, pursuing a career in the travel business. For years he owned his own agency, Taylor-Made Tours, until he sold it to concentrate on his own clients, leaving the administration to others. He was instrumental in planning our class trip to Alaska. Tom called the Princeton years the greatest years of his life, and he never missed our five-year reunions.
An avid golfer, season subscriber to all arts events in Seattle, active in Rotary, and a world traveler, Tom remained loyal to the Pacific Northwest until his family--a niece and three nephews---encouraged him to come back to Pennsylvania, where they could be of help to him. We join them in salute to our departed friend.
The Class of 1939

JOSEPH HALL DETWEILER '41
Joe died in Gainesville, Fla., Feb. 8, 1997. Catherine "Cay," his widow, recalls that he was devoted to his class, the university, Elm Club, and his fellow engineers. He graduated with High Honors, Phi Beta Kappa, and was chairman of the editorial board of Bric-a-Brac.
After WWII service in the Navy as an ordnance officer, he earned an MBA from Harvard, and, also equipped with a CPA certification, converted his vocation to finance in manufacturing companies. The years that followed were happy and productive--filled with family life and community service.
Joe was brought up short in the early 1970s by heart irregularities that called for valve replacement and a long convalescence. He made a comeback and, again, in 1986, against fearful odds, survived another ordeal and a temporary reprieve.
At the end--in a nursing home--he was treated like the hero he was by Cay, sons Peter H. '68 and Steven L. '69, daughters Nancy Metzger and Carol McClellan, and seven grandchildren. We, too, mourn his passing.
The Class of 1941

SAMUEL RICHMOND DORRANCE '41
Sam died June 22, 1997, while caught in a squall on Long Island Sound. His wife, Frances, who was on the boat with him, survived. They lived in Noroton, Conn., on land along Good Wives River that Sam's maternal ancestors had farmed since colonial days.
Prepping at St. Mark's, he was on the track team, and joined Colonial. As a navigator-bombardier in North Africa, his plane was shot down. Captured by Rommell's Afrika Korps, he escaped, almost making it to Allied lines before being retaken and flown to a stalag where inmates included a number of famous Tigers, such as Nicholas Katzenbach '43. Both went on to Yale Law.
After clerking in NYC, Sam joined a New Canaan firm, which became Hawthorne, Ackerly & Dorrance; he practiced there until his death. Never one to shy from unsalaried civic duty, Sam chaired Darien's Z.B.A., then its planning commission. He was on Princeton's advisory council to the philosophy department, and was Noroton Yacht Club's secretary for 32 years. His passion was racing sailboats, and he once crossed the Atlantic on Richard Nye's Carina.
Other survivors are sons from an early marriage, Sam Jr., Thomas G., and David W., and seven stepchildren. Ironically, his second wife, Barbara B. Cobb, died of a coronary while she and Sam were sailing out to start a club day-race. It is somehow fitting that this exceptionally cultured gentleman died on the salt water he loved so much.
The Class of 1941

PAUL LUKENS MILLER '41
Paul died July 26, 1997, of heart failure following surgery to remove a blood clot.
At college Paul was a three-year member of the polo team, earned a pilot's license, joined Ivy, and graduated with high honors in psychology. He then was commissioned from ROTC. Posted to Fort Bragg, he was on the board which developed new field artillery weapons. Paul went on to campaign in North Africa, Italy, and Germany, and was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart before retiring as a major.
Back in Manhattan he joined First Boston Corporation. Starting in its training program, he advanced through the investment banking department to become president in 1964, and developed strong business relationships with many industrial companies. Paul was a director of Alcoa, Celanese Corp., Cummins Engine, Ogilvy & Mather, Pullman Co., and Seamen's Bank for Savings. Retiring in 1978, he continued as full-time senior adviser through much of the 1990s.
Paul was a trustee of several schools and charitable institutions, and was a key working participant in '41's recent major reunion record Annual Giving campaigns. To Adele and their daughters Hilary, Leslie Gulielmetti, and Beverly Orthwein, we extend our deepest sympathies for their and our loss of a distinguished and respected gentleman.
The Class of 1941

SAMUEL STOKES REMBERT JR. '41
Sam died May 10, 1997, from cancer, after a long illness. He came to Princeton from Hotchkiss and had to leave after his sophomore year, as his father had died and he had to take over the family farming business in Tennessee and Mississippi. He spent the rest of his life working the soil, as many generations of Remberts before him had done.
Sam was a lieutenant (jg) in the Navy during WWII. He was president of the Memphis Country Club and a director of the Gulf Stream Golf Club in Florida. He leaves his wife of 56 years, the former Scottie Noel. Other survivors include a daughter, Lyn Bailey, a son, Samuel S. III, and a sister, Mary Hammond. There are four grandchildren. To all of them the class extends deep sympathy.

DONALD CAMPBELL MACKENZIE '42 *49
Don died of pneumonia, after a long bout with cancer, in Houston, Jan. 3, 1997. He retired in 1985 after an academic career of nearly 40 years, teaching classics at Princeton, Rice, Williams, and the U. of Waterloo in Canada.

After serving four years in the AAF, in the American and European theaters, Don returned to Princeton to study for his MA and PhD in classics. Following a number of years as a lecturer at Princeton, he became professor of classics, and chairman of the department of foreign languages at Rice, in 1960. Three years later he moved on to Williams in the same capacity, becoming chairman of the department as well. In 1966, following the publication of his translation of Milton's Defense of the People of England, he retired to his farm in Maine to write and farm. He returned to teaching for the last time at the U. of Waterloo, from which he retired in 1985.
To his widow, Martha, and to his two sons, Donald and David, the class offers its most sincere sympathies.

Just before his death, he was developing a luxury marina/club hotel project on the Isle of Rhodes.
Carl was a very sincere and highly intelligent person who, after his wife, Jacqueline Ann, prematurely died in 1982, devoted much time and energy, despite his many business activities, to raising his two sons, Carl H. III and Christopher H. To them the class extends its deepest sympathy.
The Class of 1944

WILLIAM MONTAGUE GEER III '44
Monty Geer died Mar. 10, 1997, at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston following open heart surgery. He was 75. He came to us from Kent School, and for three years roomed with Brad Murphy and Pete Schultz. At Princeton he majored in psychology. His club was Colonial.
Monty left Princeton in 1943 with his AB, and after service in the Marine Corps, worked briefly with United Fruit Co. before joining the Irving Trust Co. in 1944 in NYC. Thus began a career in banking that spanned 40 years and took him to the Philadelphia National Bank as trust officer, and, in 1967, to Quincy, Mass., where he joined the South Shore Bank, from which he retired in 1983 as second v.p. He was a chartered financial analyst and a member of the Boston Security Analysts Assn.
Monty was an avid reader, gardener, beach-walker, sometime golfer, and doting grandfather who enjoyed his home in Duxbury, where he had lived for 30 years.

John Lyons died in Florida, surrounded by family members, Feb. 27, 1997. He was 76.
John grew up in a traditionally Irish environment in Newark, N.J., and prepared at Newark Academy. At Princeton he initiated a lifelong attachment to Italy and things Italian. His tenure at Princeton was interrupted by WWII, when he served in various places, including northern Italy, where he began to master the Italian language. He graduated in 1948 with a degree in modern language and literature, specializing in Italian; he received the William Koren Memorial Prize in Italian, and continued his studies at the U. of Perugia in 1948.

FOSTER PARMELEE JR. '46
Foster Parmelee died at his home in Featherston, New Zealand, July 18, 1997. Foster grew up in Buffalo and attended Exeter. He took part in the ROTC until the Marines tempted him away through the V-12 program and Japanese language training, which he later used in Korea.
Returning to Princeton, Foster wrote his thesis on the St. Lawrence Seaway and headed toward a career as an economist. He worked in the State Dept.'s intelligence and research section and with the Agency for International Development. His travels and assignments took him to London, Paris, Geneva, Korea, Japan, the two African Congos, Saigon, Manila, Bangkok, and eventually to Wellington, New Zealand.
Foster's peripatetic life was such that he married four times, having five children and three grandchildren. For the last 20 years, Foster lived in New Zealand with his fourth wife, Helene, teaching high school, playing tennis, raising retrievers, and engaging in horticulture.
A number of Foster's friends and family assembled July 26 at the Bethesda Unitarian Church, near Washington, D.C. His daughter brought his 50th reunion jacket to the service; Alan Lukens represented the class.
Foster leaves his four wives, Jean, Terry, Mary Lou, and Helene, children Suzanne, Judith Barnhard, Steven, James, and John, as well as his brother, Alfred.

That summer Alan matriculated at Princeton, but returned to England in 1944 when he became an officer in the Royal Navy, serving on a minesweeper in the North Sea. After the war he came back to Princeton, majored in history, and graduated in June 1949.
His work in advertising was cut short by illness, and Alan returned to England, where he lived until his death. Alan always remembered his Princeton associations with affection and enjoyed corresponding with classmates. He was particularly pleased by a visit from George and Sally Faunce several years ago.
The class extends its deepest sympathy to his brother, John '48.
The Class of 1947
ROBERT GRUBER BEARD '48
Bob Beard died August 4, 1997, after a long battle with leukemia.
A native of Westfield, N.J., Bob joined us from Exeter, where he had captained the football team. His time at Princeton was interrupted by 18 months in the Army Air Force. Bob was an end on the '47 football team for a bit, but went down to the JVs, where he was cocaptain in his senior year with Mitch Brock '50. He majored in history and graduated with honors in June '50. He roomed with Art Savage and was in Cap and Gown.
Bob's first job was with Prentice-Hall in NYC. In 1952 Asheville and the Farmers Federation News beckoned; they needed an editor, business and advertising manager, photographer, and columnist. Bob could and did play any position. After two years he made his best move and married his beloved Betty. They had two children, Barbara Ann and William.
In 1958 Bob moved to the Asheville Citizen-Times, where his career advanced over the years until he retired in 1992 as advertising development director. He was extraordinarily prominent in civic and professional organizations, serving on countless hospital boards and with the United Way, among many others. His very special interest was the Civitan Club, where for many years he was secretary and bulletin editor. He was a past president of the Princeton Club of Western North Carolina. His Packard went 250,000 miles and was the envy of the Blue Ridge Packard Club.
Bob had great devotion to Princeton all his days. To Betty and their children and grandchildren, the class extends its deepest sympathy and shares in their loss.
The Class of 1948

Robbie Freund, a longtime New Jersey resident, died of cancer June 14, 1994, in Middletown, N.J. He was 68.
He graduated from Atlantic Highlands H.S. and enlisted in the Navy's V-12 program in 1944. He was sent first to Drew U., and subsequently to Princeton, as a member of the NROTC unit. Following his 1946 discharge he returned to Princeton, earning a degree in geology. He was a member of Dial Lodge and active in interclub sports.

He was recalled by the Navy early in the Korean hostilities, and following his release as a full lieutenant in 1954, he accepted a position with the Geophysical Exploration Co., serving with distinction for two years in Texas and New Mexico. In 1956 he joined American Standard as a sales engineer and subsequently founded his own manufacturers representative firm, R. W. Freund and Associates.
In 1968 he married Patricia Robinson, coincidentally also known as "Robbie," and for the next 27 years they were affectionately known as "the two Robbies." He is survived by Robbie and by a sister, Helen Bell. To them, the class of 1948 extends belated and profound sympathies.
The Class of 1948

RICHARD HARDING RANDALL JR. '48
We lost a distinguished scholar, an able museum administrator, and a blithe spirit in the July 3, 1997, death of Dick Randall.
A native Baltimorean, Dick prepared at Calvert, Gilman and Pomfret schools, and spent two years with the 4th Armored Division in France and Germany. He majored in architecture, comanaged the 150-lb. football team, and joined Colonial. He earned a master's in art history from Harvard.
From 1953-59 he was assistant, then associate, curator of mediaeval art at the Cloisters. He next became assistant curator of decorative arts at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. In 1953 he married the love of his life, Lilian "Pooh" Cramer, a fellow mediaevalist and curator.
Dick returned to Baltimore, where he was director of the Walters Art Gallery from 1965-81; he was curator of mediaeval art until 1985. His books and 150 articles on arms and armor, decorative arts, American furniture, and mediaeval art are considered definitive. Critic John Russell termed Dick's magnum opus, The Golden Age of Ivory: Gothic Carvings in North American Collections "one of the more voluptuous art books." Dick took special pride--"the best thing I've done since retirement"--in completing the restoration of the neo-Gothic Corpus Christi Church, in Baltimore.
Dick is survived by Pooh, children Christopher, Julia, and Kate, and sister Julia. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them and, somehow, shares in their loss.

Lee spent most of his career in the State Department's Foreign Service. He described his first 25 years as "the making of a maverick and the unmaking of a diplomat." He and Elizabeth "Betsy" Brooks were married in Sept. 1948. He made good on his promise of "you won't be bored"; they traveled and lived in Europe, South Asia, and Latin America.
In 1979 he earned an MA from Penn but was not in close touch with the class. He and Betsy resided at Paoli, Pa.
The class extends its sympathy to Betsy, sons Owen '75 and Paul, and daughter Suzanne.
The Class of 1948

The Class of 1950

GEORGE HOSACK FOLLANSBEE '50
George Follansbee died Apr. 11, 1997, at his home in Pittsburgh, Pa., after a bout with lung cancer. He was 71.
George prepared at Pittsburgh's Shady Side Academy, where he was on the wrestling team. There followed a two-year period, 1944-46, when he served as a tail gunner in the Pacific theater during WWII. At Princeton, he majored in psychology and was a member of Tower.
After graduation, George worked in Texas for six months as a roustabout in the oil fields and then returned to the Pittsburgh area to become a steel salesman.

He was a member of Fox Chapel Golf Club and a volunteer at Harmarville Rehabilitation Center.
George had a deep love for and a vast knowledge of literature. He loved animals, talking to them as though they were human and befriending every cat and dog in his neighborhood. He even had a dog while at Princeton. George was a kind, gentle, and patient man who was a good listener and stood firmly in his beliefs.
Our deepest sympathies go out to his wife, Elsie, his daughters, Nancy and Brooks, his stepdaughters, Melinda Jameson and Molly Smith, and his brother, Mark.
The Class of 1950

CONSTANTINE HUTCHINS JR. '50
Tony Hutchins died Mar. 17, 1997, at his home in Needham, Mass., after a gallant battle with cancer. A graduate of Groton School, Tony majored in English and showed his writing talents by founding a publication, M.S.S., with Frank Reeve, a roommate and fellow Ivy Club member. He also was active in Triangle; his interest in music continued throughout his life. Tony wrote the music and lyrics for many productions at the Tavern Club of Boston and collaborated on a 1972 musical, Two If by Sea. His Pied Piper, written for the Charles River Creative Arts Program, continues to be performed throughout the country.
After Navy service during the Korean War, Tony, for a short time, tried his hand in publishing. In 1959 he graduated from Harvard Law School. He practiced law briefly at Herrick & Smith before joining State Street Research and Investment, where he spent 35 years, retiring in 1995 as general counsel.
Tony was interested in gardening, and like many sturdy New Englanders, he derived exercise and pleasure splitting the winter wood supply. He was one of the few classmates who died a resident of the same house that was his home address during college.
He leaves his wife, Kathy, children Katherine, Constantine III, Louis, and Jeremy, stepdaughter Elizabeth Cherot, stepsons Bevin and Colin, sisters Mary Ruddy and Anne Rivinus, and five grandchildren. To all of them the class extends its deepest sympathies.

WILLIAM HARRISON LUYTIES JR. '50
William "Sandy" Luyties died of lung cancer at his home in Ross, Calif., Oct. 14, 1996. He was 69.
Born in St. Louis, Sandy prepared at the Hill School, where he graduated cum laude and played varsity football and basketball. After a short stint in the Navy, he came to Princeton in 1947. Sandy majored in economics and was a member of Quadrangle Club. Upon graduation, he returned to St. Louis, where he joined the Bemis Bag Co., founded by his grandfather Judson Bemis. Later he joined the Luyties Pharmaceutical Company and worked with his father, William Luyties Sr.
In 1959, he married Joan Brooks and shortly thereafter moved to L.A., where he became a securities analyst and v.p. of William R. Staats & Co. He also hosted a TV show that reviewed books relating to the stock market.
Sandy and Joan, an artist, were enthusiastic supporters of both the L.A. County and the Pasadena Art Museums. After 15 years in Southern California, they moved to Marin. Commuting by boat to the city, Sandy started two telecommunication companies in San Francisco, IRM Intl., and Glumac Communications Intl. He also developed the Luyties market value system still in use today.
His family was always his first priority and greatest joy. Our deepest sympathies go to them--Joan and five children, Seth, Megan, Lissa, Jonica, and Judson.

HENRY WILLIAM SAFARIK '50
Henry died of cancer June 2, 1997, in his Suntree, Fla., home, peacefully and surrounded by family.
He prepared at the Peddie School. His Princeton career was interrupted by WWII service in the Navy, and he earned his BSEE in 1950. Henry lettered in ice hockey and played football and baseball; he joined Tiger Inn. Henry played professional hockey with the New Haven Eagles and captained the first U.S. team to play in Japan. He is pictured in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Henry later earned an MSEE at Newark College of Engineering, a JD at N.Y. Law School, and an MBA at the U. of Santa Clara.
The Japanese experience gave Henry the urge to travel--he lived and worked on six continents. Henry managed quality control for G.E.'s Polaris program, and managed quality control and launch for Lockheed Missile and Space Co.'s Corona program. During his tenure with Otis Elevator, Henry invented and developed several patents. He retired in 1986, moved to Florida, and volunteered locally and internationally. He coordinated the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program for Brevard and Osceola counties and volunteered for the Intl. Executive Service Corps in Egypt and Zimbabwe.

CLAIBOURNE EUGENE GRIFFIN '51
Clay died May 30, 1997, at his home in Akron, Ohio, from the effects of a massive stroke in Sept. 1992.
Clay was dean emeritus of the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences and professor emeritus of chemistry at the U. of Akron. A man of many parts, he formed the university's molecular spectroscopy labora-tory and had a major role in founding its College of Polymer Science and Engineering. He was a language scholar, a consummate raconteur, and a master of aphorisms. He also had an outstanding collection of picture postcards. He served in the Marines and the Navy.
Clay came to Princeton as a cum laude graduate of Eastern H.S. [Washington, D.C.]. On our campus he was a chemistry major, in the glee club and band, and president of Campus Club. He roomed with Joe Barrett, Bill Fuellhart, Jim Farrell, and Dan Sullivan. Sally, Clay's wife, says, "His stroke paralyzed his entire left side. He lived in a wheelchair in great pain. He was a good man, loved by many. He will be greatly missed." His standing-room only memorial service tes-tified to that; Lou Emanuel represented the class.
Clay is also survived by stepsons Jeffrey and Michael Olah, and granddaughter Jennifer Copsey. The class's deep sympathy goes to all of them.

Diagnosed in Oct. 1993, he underwent three surgeries, two courses of chemotherapy, and participated in trial studies at Johns Hopkins and NIH, Bethesda. Dave could not march in the 1996 P-rade, but as '52 passed his chair, he stood in a gesture of affection for his classmates. His mass of Christian burial was celebrated at St. John Neumann Church, in Radnor, Pa. The courage, discipline, and devotion of Dave's last three years framed his entire life.

CHARLES E. FEDDEN '53
We are saddened by the death of Chuck Fedden, June 12, 1997, in NYC. He leaves behind a loving wife, Joyce, two children, Joy and Steve, and a sister, Jane Hammarstrom.
Chuck graduated from Teaneck H.S. At Princeton he majored in economics and his club was Cannon. We remember his mellifluous and authoritative voice on WPRU, where he was senior staff announcer and news director. He played IAA football and basketball and was in the advertising forum. Chuck roomed all four years with Blair Hostetler, Bill Scragg, and Guy Stroh, the last three in 309 Hamilton Hall. Guy recalls this was the site of happy times--vigorous touch football with good friends on the grassed area outside their room and high spirited poker and pinochle games inside.
Chuck received his law degree from Harvard in 1956 before joining a large Wall Street group of attorneys, where he specialized in estates and trusts. Most recently he was of counsel to smaller firms in NYC and in private practice within his specialty. Sympathy to our friend Chuck may be expressed by contributing to "Class of '53 Memorial Scholarship," c/o Class Treas. John Strong, 8785 Orchid Island Circle, #202, Vero Beach, FL 32963.

Bo Northrup of Stone Ridge, N.Y., died Feb. 3, 1997, of cancer at his home.
Bo came to Princeton from Phillips Andover Academy, majored in English, joined Tower Club, and served as publicity manager for the Triangle Club. According to our Nassau Herald, Bo intended to enter the field of journalism. That prophecy was accurate; following three years in the Marine Corps, he moved to NYC and began his career as a journalist by joining UPI. In 1966, he moved to The Wall Street Journal, first serving as a reporter and later as an editor for page one articles. Bo next joined the Journal's London bureau in 1970. He covered Europe, Africa, and the Soviet bloc from there for seven years, before returning to NYC as an editor.
In 1987, Bo retired and moved to Stone Ridge, where he purchased and restored a 250-year-old stone house and barn. He loved the outdoors and was a friend to all living creatures, great and small. He was committed to land conservation, and served as v.p. of the Rondout Esopus Land Conservancy in High Falls, N.Y., for many years.
Bo is survived by his wife, Marsha Torn, his sister, Lynn, and a devoted friend, Diane Cooper. The class extends its deep sympathy to each of them.

CARROLL S. JAMES JR. '58
It is with deep sadness that we report the death of Carroll S. James Jr., Mar. 24, 1997, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Carroll entered Princeton from Hagerstown H.S. in Maryland. He first roomed with Dan McDonald, Mike Curan, and Bud Burke. In his last two years the suite was expanded to include Jim Clarke, Bill Cox, Gib Kirwan, and Ken Lenert. Carroll was a member of Dial Lodge and active in WPRB. As a DJ for local New Brunswick and Trenton stations during his student days, Carroll's quick wit was much appreciated by Princeton's late night denizens and studiers.
After graduation and Coast Guard service, Carroll became a disc jockey in the D.C. area, where he made popular music history by being the first to play a Beatles record on radio in the U.S. In 1969, he went to freelance announcing, and was in constant demand. Carroll was active on the boards of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. We shall always remember that great voice of "CJ the DJ."
Carroll is survived by his wife and undergraduate sweetheart, Betty, their two daughters, Lauren and Christine, his son-in-law, Jeff Guelcher, and his parents, Carroll Sr. and Margaret.
We shall miss his willingness to listen, good words for everyone, and, certainly, his own inimitable style in recounting broadcasting bloopers.
