Body

WE RECEIVED the sad news that one of our most devoted members, Len Draper, died in Duluth, Minn., Nov. 4, 1994. He was born in Duluth June 26, 1902. He prepared at Duluth Central H.S. and Andover and was on the swimming team at both schools. At Princeton, he captained the swim team senior year and was on the undergraduate athletic committee, on the business board of the TIGER, and a member of Tiger Inn. He attended all our major reunions. He joined the Chicago office of Marsh and McClennan Insurance Brokers, retiring as v.p. in 1966. He returned to Duluth in 1977. He was active in community affairs, including the Lake Superior Museum of Transportation and the Duluth Family Y.M.C.A. He was a member of the Northland Country Club and the Univ. Club of Chicago.

His funeral was held in Duluth, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. He is survived by a sister, Florence Lachman; three nieces, Jane Heimbach, Anne Mars, and Gail Glesson; and 13 grandnieces and grandnephews.
