Alan Schofield ’47

Alan Schofield died Feb. 6, 1997, at his home in Macclesfield, England, after a long illness.

Alan was born and raised in England but came to America in 1940 with his mother and brother. Shortly thereafter, he entered the Berkshire School, from which he graduated in 1943. That summer Alan matriculated at Princeton, but returned to England in 1944 when he became an officer in the Royal Navy, serving on a minesweeper in the North Sea. After the war he came back to Princeton, majored in history, and graduated in June 1949.

His work in advertising was cut short by illness, and Alan returned to England, where he lived until his death. Alan always remembered his Princeton associations with affection and enjoyed corresponding with classmates. He was particularly pleased by a visit from George and Sally Faunce several years ago.

The class extends its deepest sympathy to his brother, John '48.
