Alfred Theodore Drury ’34 *35

Body

Ted Drury, who retired in 1975 as head of the Technical Services Dept. at the U.S. Naval Ship Research & Development Center in Bethesda, Md., died Sept. 24, 1995, it has just been learned. For the past few years he had been mostly paralyzed at what he described as a "U.S. Army-oriented nursing home" in Washington. His wife of 54 years, Louise Ullman Drury, visited him there every day. Louise, or Lou, he wrote not long ago, "keeps the home fires burning in our Chevy Chase residence." Ted and Louise also had a summer home at Deep Creek Lake in western Maryland.

Surviving, besides Louise, are the couple's four sons, Donald A., Bruce B., Christopher L., and Peter J. To them and their families we offer our sincere sympathy.
