Allen Earle Whitman III ’56

Allen, our clear-voiced bass Tigertone, of Berwyn, Pa., died June 12, 2002. A graduate of Groton, he attended the Naval Academy before joining our class in 1953. Right away, he came out for the Triangle show. A history major, a member of Tiger Inn, and business manager of the Tigertones, he roomed his senior year with Dirk Owens, Dick Atcheson, and Dick Buerk.

After 28 years with Scott Paper, he began an independent, global forest-products consulting business in 1984. Allen was a former chairman of the board of Agnes Irwin School in Rosemont, Pa., and served on that board for many years. A longtime member of St. David's Episcopal Church in Wayne, Pa., he participated in church choirs and choral groups. He also sang with the Orpheus Club of Philadelphia. A lover of sailing as well, he was a member of the New York Yacht Club, the Yacht Club of Philadelphia, and the Cruising Club of America.

The class extends its sympathy to his wife, Tracy Horton Whitman; to his children, Cynthia W. Lawes, Elizabeth W. Winder, Allen IV, and Eavenson Horter; and to his grandchildren, Sophie, Alden, and Sterling.
