Bud Bickham died Nov. 18, 2000, leaving no survivors of whom we are aware. At Princeton he studied electrical engineering and was a member of Court Club. He worked for the A. O. Smith Corp. in Tipp City, Ohio, retiring in 1974. In retirement he audited courses in physics and mathematics at the U. of Dayton, served as foreman of the Montgomery County [Ohio] Grand Jury for four months in early 1980, helped guide visiting dignitaries to the Dayton Council on World Affairs to places of local interest, tried, with little success, to understand the economic plans of our federal government, played tennis (doubles) in the summer and squash in the winter, but not very well, and traveled moderately.
