Paul Weeks II ’65

Paul died May 31, 2006, a year after partying at our 40th, 11 months after his basketball team placed fourth in the Senior Olympics, and four months after being diagnosed with metastatic melanoma.

Paul attended high school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Dallas. At Princeton, he majored in electrical engineering, was in NROTC, and was secretary of Tower Club.

After five years of building nuclear vessels for Adm. Rickover, he attended George Wash-

ington University Law School, then joined COMSAT (the Communications Satellite Corp.) legal department. In 1987, he moved to ICF Kaiser International, where he was senior vice president and general counsel.

After leaving ICF, Paul fulfilled a lifelong dream — building an award-winning wooden outboard launch from a classic design. He also became associated with the Alexandria Seaport Foundation, a program for troubled teenagers, teaching carpentry and workplace skills by building boats and assisting in finding jobs and new starts. Paul created ASF's Web site (www.alexandriaseaport.org), and served as a board member and managing director. Several '65ers and others are establishing an ASF scholarship in Paul's name.

Paul is survived by Pam, his wife of 40 years; his mother, Barbara; his daughter, Catherine; three grandchildren; and his brother and sister, to whom the class extends deepest sympathy.
