Andrew H. Solarski ’48 *49

Andy died Sept. 20, 2014, at age 90.

He was born in 1924. After Marine V-12 service, he received a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering from Princeton in 1948, graduating with high honors. Andy earned a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering a year later and stayed on campus to join the faculty of that department.

Then came a varied engineering and business career at Republic Aviation, Cook Business Laboratories, General Electric, and finally with a small engineering firm and work as an independent consultant on airport planning and development.

During his quiet retirement in a Chicago suburb, Andy told us that he was working “mainly on the theory and practice of golf for the hopelessly inept.” Also, in our 50-year reunion book, he reported that he and his wife, Marie, had two sons, Paul and Ralph, and four grandchildren.
