Andrew Neal Sears ’66
Andy died Nov. 9, 2002, in an automobile accident in Georgia while returning from vacation.
Andy was with the law firm of Bower, Sanger and Lawrence in NYC, specializing in medical malpractice defense. He received his law degree from NYU and began his career as an assistant district attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney's office. For many years Andy volunteered as a reader for the New York Studio of Recording for the Blind, preparing audiotapes for blind lawyers and law students.
Andy valued his Princeton experience highly. He graduated magna cum laude with a major in philosophy and was a member of Dial Lodge. Andy was an alumni interviewer in Westchester County.
The organization that meant most to Andy was the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., which he had recently visited. Its cause, fighting injustice and bigotry, and its chief counsel, Morris Dees, were Andy's inspirations. Andy's brother, Eric, is a member of the Class of '69. To Eric, to Andy's wife, Carole, and their two children, Jeremy and Jill, the class extends its deepest sympathy.
