Albert J. Redway Jr. ’50

Jim died from the aftereffects of pneumonia at George Washington Hospital in DC, on Oct. 28, 2002.

He graduated from St. George's and served as an Air Force flight engineer during WWII before entering Princeton in 1946. Jim and fellow veterans Mike Vialls and Bob McKay accelerated their aeronautical engineering program and graduated in 1949, but all elected to stay with our class.

He spent 33 years with McDonnell Douglas, retiring in 1982 as corporate vice president, eastern region. In DC for most of his career, he followed firsthand the advances in aeronautics sparked by development of the jet engine, the rocket, and the computer.

Jim kept himself busy in retirement. He chaired the committee charged with building the Warrenton-Fauquier [Va.] Airport and took an International Executive Corps assignment with a Czech aircraft company. He formed an aerospace consulting business with Charlie Forsyth '45 and continued consulting until his death.

One of his avocations was flying a single-seat glider at regional competitions. In recent years he and his wife started a beef cattle-breeding business.

Our condolences go to Tilda, his wife of 53 years; children, David, Jake '74, Kate Rosenfield, Nini, and Jon; four siblings; eight grandchildren; and a great-grandson.
