Alfred Dennis Sieminski ’34

Al Sieminski, who served four terms as a congressman from N.J., collapsed and died Dec. 13, 1990, apparently of a heart attack, while attending a Christmas party near his home in Vienna, Va. He was first elected to the House in 1950, while on active duty with the Army in Korea. He had volunteered for combat duty after winning the Democratic primary in the 13th district, leaving his wife to campaign for him.

Described by a classmate as "a competitor par excellence," Al was our Class agent from 1979 to 1980, his service being cut short by doctor's orders. Among his fondest memories as an undergraduate was his rowing at Princeton, He was a member of the 150-lb. crew that went to Henley in 1933. (He had been to Henley in 1929, with the Hun School crew.) "We are flooded with memories," he once wrote, "that are almost uncontrollable emotionally. It is now (in retirement) that the wallop of Old Nassau rocks us each time we Go Back!"

Survivors include his widow, the former Countess Marie Czarkowska-Golejewska, three stepchildren, and five grandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
