Albert H. Weeks ’70

“Kip” Weeks died of cancer Dec. 31, 2011, in Keene, N.H.

Raised in Cedarhurst, N.Y., he prepared for Princeton at the Brooks School in North Andover, Mass. At Princeton, Kip was an English major and a member of Ivy Club. He was preceded at Princeton by his father, Louis S. Weeks Jr. ’40.

Following graduation, Kip embarked on a life fueled by his natural curiosity about people and their stories. Kip served the Inuit community in Alaska, learning to travel by dogsled; later he was an investigative reporter for the Keene Sentinel. Kip then attended Catholic University Law School in Washington, D.C., where he met and married his wife, Christine.

They returned to Keene, a town he had adored since childhood summers in nearby Alstead. Kip quickly became one of the town’s leading citizens, raising a family, practicing law, and being named one of New Hampshire’s 10 probate judges. As a jurist, Kip was known for his careful listening, probing questions, and thoroughly expressed opinions, assisting many fractured families to find just resolutions.

Classmates will miss sharing with Kip his many joys in life: his family, Keene, New England’s woods, the Bosox, and Princeton. The class extends deepest sympathy to his wife; his son, Sam; and his daughter, Meg.
