Alvin Curtis Spindler ’49

Curt died Dec. 5, 2015, in Ann Arbor, Mich., his home for many years. Although our contact with him had been infrequent, we know that he had a practice there as a psychiatrist for a long time.

Curt came to Princeton from Scarsdale High School. He majored in economics, took his meals at Court Club, and played on the club’s tennis and baseball teams. After graduation he worked briefly for Bankers Trust and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and then entered the State University of New York Medical College in Brooklyn, where he earned a medical degree. Our knowledge of his subsequent medical training is skimpy, but we do know that at the time of our 25th reunion he was a psychiatrist in Ann Arbor, with his own practice, and was married to Evangeline. So far as we can tell, she is his only survivor.

We wish we knew more about Curt’s life, hobbies, interests, and medical career. As it is, we can only express our pride and our pleasure in knowing about another ’49er who lived a happy and successful life.
