James C. Doty ’50

Body

Jim died July 14, 2010, in Oswego, N.Y.

At Princeton he was a member of Court Club, the freshman crew, WPRU, and Whig-Clio. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. His father was in the Class of 1915.

After graduation, Jim was an ensign in the Navy and at one time was assigned to the Navy Electronics School at Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay.  

Our last information about Jim was in our 10th-reunion directory when he was reported to be working for General Electric in Syracuse. Since then, we have had no information about his whereabouts or life pursuits until receiving his obituary, which simply listed the date and location of his death.
