Addison R. Taylor ’44

Addison R. Taylor died May 7, 1998, of cancer, after a long illness. He was 75. He came to us from South Kent School, and roomed with Ted Schulte for four years. At Princeton, he majored in economics and social institutions, was business manager of WPRU, and belonged to Quadrangle Club.

Doc left Princeton in 1943 to join the Air Corps, in which he served until 1946, when he re-entered Princeton and graduated with his AB. He spent several years in business and re-entered the Air Force in 1950 as a captain, serving in radar control.

After discharge, Doc started a career in electronics, specializing in audio recording. His first venture was with Steve Lamb when they formed a company involved in special magnetic recording. Later, he joined Mohawk Business Machines, becoming secretary and a director. He moved to California in 1967 with MacKenzie Laboratories and retired in 1991 when he sold the business.

To his wife, Patricia, to whom he was married in 1943, his son Bruce, and his daughter Petrie, the class extends its sympathy.
