A few years ago, writer Sandy noted: “I’ve visited all 50 states and some 30 foreign countries, either on vacation trips or traveling as a magazine editor (with Newsweek and the Saturday Evening Post) and as a writer with Exxon public affairs assigned to do ‘country stories’ for the company’s magazine The Lamp. Living in Arizona for 10 winters and coming back east for the summers, my wife and I drove across the country nearly 20 times, taking different routes to see as much of the U.S. as we could. I still haven’t been to India; I would especially like to take a train to Darjeeling to catch the view of Kanchenjunga from Tiger Hill.”
Upon his death June 9, 2016, at age 91, Sandy was survived by his wife, Claire Hanlon Brown; his children, Chip, Cam, Tory, and Toby; daughters-in-law Kate Betts ’86 and Anne Brown; son-in-law Curtis Berkey; and four grandchildren. All of ’46 is thankful for this well-lived life and career.
