Peter Pulrang died Sept. 23, 2008. He lived in Plattsburgh, N.Y., for many years and in Cedar Key and Tallahassee, Fla., after his retirement.

Pete arrived at Princeton from the Riverdale School in 1942. He joined the Army Air Corps, and while assigned to the Office of Strategic Services, flew low-level single-plane night missions, dropping supplies and personnel to the underground forces in mainland Europe and Scandinavia.

In 1946 he returned to Princeton and earned his degree in history. In 1951 he received a medical degree from McGill University Medical School in Montreal. After internships in Montreal, Peter spent his residency in Philadelphia and eventually opened a practice in pediatrics in Plattsburgh.

Pete was very active in medical affairs, including 17 years as director of school health services and 15 years as chairman of the pediatrics department at the local hospital. In 1975 and 1980 he served as an officer in child-health services in New York and Washington state.  

He is survived by two sons, Peter Ian Pulrang and Andrew Dana Pulrang.
