Alfred T. Whatley ’44 *52

Al died July 20, 2002. He came to Princeton from Fountain Valley High in Denver, Colo. He majored in physical chemistry and, after service in the Army, including 16 months in the Pacific, received his AB in 1948 and his PhD in 1952. At college he was a member of Tiger Inn, along with his roommate, George Lawry.

His life's work was in atomic research and in kinetic and reaction mechanisms. Hanford Works, Advance Propulsion, Martin Co., and Edgerton, Germeshausen & Grier were some of his employers. He served as executive director of the Western Interstate Nuclear Board. He always had an interest in the outdoors, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and retirement in Breckenridge, Colo. He developed a ranch with a championship golf course and outdoor-living facilities. He is survived by his four children, to whom the class tenders its condolences.
