Donald McClure died June 1, 2012, in his hometown of Memphis, Tenn. He was 91.
Don graduated from the Pentecost-Garrison School for Boys in Memphis in 1935 and from the Choate School in 1938. At Princeton he majored in SPIA.
Following graduation, Don was assigned by his draft board to the weather service of the Army Air Corps. He was stationed at various posts in California, where he served as technical sergeant of the 1st Air Squadron. During this time he was lucky to be able to marry the love of his life, Virginia Mary (“Ginger”) Knowlton.
After discharge from the Air Corps in 1946, Don and Ginger returned to Memphis, where Don found a job at the Arthur Fulmer Co. He started as a sales trainee and rose ultimately to the position of executive vice president.
Don and Ginger were deeply embedded in the community of Memphis. They were loyal members of Idlewild Presbyterian Church, where Don served on the budget and finance committee. Both were very involved in the activities of sons Donald Jr. and Paul; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. To all the family, the class sends condolences.
