Edward Corson died Dec. 13, 2009, in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., of a long-term heart problem.
Ted graduated from Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia and began with the Princeton Class of 1972, including high school friends Roger Kyle ’72, Glenn Haas ’72, and Glenn Morris ’72. Ted lived in Wilson College, sang in the Glee Club, was a member of Theater Intime, and played piano at Colonial Club during Saturday coffeehouse nights. Ted’s 1972 performance as Charon in the production of Aristophanes’ Frogs was described as “definitive” by Daily Princetonian theater reviewer James O’Donnell.
After taking a few years off, Ted graduated from the music department in 1976. He moved to Morristown, N.J., and began his career as a secondary-school private music instructor at Morristown-Beard School. A few years later he switched career tracks to computer programming, working at Deloitte Haskins & Sells. At the time of our 10th reunion, Ted submitted to the reunion yearbook that his “Life = Computers and Music (Composition and Singing).” In 2003, he moved to his father’s home in Plymouth Meeting.
The class sends condolences to his father, Dr. Joseph Corson, his sisters, and brother.
