Armistead Dudley Rust ’34
ARMIE RUST, Texas rancher, former mayor of his native San Angelo, and past chairman of the Texas Turnpike Authority, died May 20, 1992, after a short illness. His last visit to Princeton was last fall, to participate in the gala celebration of the 100th anniversary of Triangle Club, of which he was the undergraduate president from 1933 to 1934, He was buried in his reunion jacket.
Besides his prominence in Texas, Rusty was prominent in our Class. Twice a member of our executive committee, Our Class representative on the Alumni Council, and leader (with his cornet) of our music making Retreads, he was a winner, in 1971, of our Outstanding Achievement Award, as "a warmhearted humanitarian who has devoted a distinguished and multifaceted career to the best interests of his community."
Surviving are his widow, Fanne (Halbert), and two grandchildren. (His daughter Nancy Keeton died in 1984.) To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
