A St. Paul’s graduate, he majored in geological engineering at Princeton, where he was in the ski club and Cannon Club. His roommates were Don Kennedy, Dave Harris, and Scott Mason.

Doug spent 2 1/2 years in the Navy Air and Sea Patrol, principally in the Solomon Islands. Postwar, he received a master’s degree from the School of Mines, Columbia University. He married Grace Retz in August 1946.

Initially working for New Jersey Zinc Co., he then spent 36 years in New York with Scudder Stevens & Clark and was vice president of the Scudder Gold Fund. Upon retiring, he started a precious-metal consulting business and was on the board of four mining industry-related corporations.

Doug is survived by Grace, his wife of 66 years; his children, Wendy and Gordon ’80; two grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. His Princeton relatives included his father, Norman 1903, and his late brother, Norman Jr. ’36. Doug seldom missed a major reunion.
