Albert Riggs Durham ’35

ALBERT DURHAM died in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sept. 12, 1989, after a long struggle with emphysema. He was an accountant who took early retirement from Southern California Edison, and a member of the musicians' union who loved to play the piano in his spare time.

"Bull," or “Red" to us, was born in Princeton on Feb. 21,1914, when his father was a member of the faculty in the Greek department, and came to our Class from Clinton, N.Y. high school and Kent School. He left Princeton in his sophomore year and later graduated from Syracuse Univ. School of Business Administration. Bull went west in 1943 and spent the rest of his life in California. A determined bachelor, in 1981 he married Mrs. Milly Berger, who survived him by only 15 days.

While with us he participated in intramural basketball and tennis, and sang in both the glee club and the choir. Bull had an easy way, a good sense of humor, and an angelic grin when being coy. He was loyal to Princeton, attending all major reunions, often with his father, Donald B. Durham '05, *11, who received both his M.A. and Ph.D. at Princeton, and who was head of the Greek department at Hamilton College.

We send our sympathy to his only survivor, his sister, Mrs. Marianne Lakatos, of Santa Monica, Calif.
