Alfred Conrad Ulmer Jr. ’39

Body

After a long illness brought on by a severe stroke in 1992, Al died June 22, 2000. Editorial chair of the Prince and business manager of the Triangle Club, Al served overseas with US Naval Intelligence in North Africa and Italy, staying on in occupied Vienna with the OSS, which became the CIA. He ran their Far East operations from 1955-58 and served as operations chief in France. He was awarded the Intelligence Medal of Merit. Al said he had to move into the business world in 1962 to shore up the family finances so he and Doris could take care of educating their four children. Ultimately he joined the Swiss banking firm of Lombard, Odier et Cie of Geneva, opening their New York and Bermuda offices.

We offer our sympathy to his son, Nicolas, daughter Marguerite, five grandchildren, brother Thomas '40, and sisters Ruth and Blanche.
