Albert Frankland Brandt ’45

COL. FRANK BRANDT died Jan. 3, 1990. Service and burial were at Arlington Cemetery. Frank entered Princeton from Trenton, his family home. One of Princeton's many field artillery ROTC graduates, he served with distinction as a forward observer for the 43rd Infantry Field Artillery seeing combat in New Guinea and the Philippines. After the war, he took his degree from Princeton, in 1947, and his law degree from Virginia, in 1950.

He combined law practice with active military service, retiring as a colonel of field artillery and continuing practice as what he called a "country lawyer." As of 1985, Frank advised that he had experienced one marriage, which produced three children, and was enjoying life as a "formerly married" in the Virginia countryside.

In 1987, Frank deserted the single status for marriageto the former Janice Taxey, who survives him, along with his sons David and John and his daughter Karen, to all of whom the Class expresses its deepest sympathy.
