Arthur G. Trudeau ’53

Body

With sadness we record the death of Arthur, formerly called Art, several years ago. The date and location are not known. Born in Honolulu, Arthur graduated from Washington & Lee H.S.

At Princeton, Arthur was in the Catholic Club and a member of Quadrangle. A roommate, Dick Crampton, recalled that Arthur was interested in interior design and had an off-campus job with a decorating firm. Arthur left Princeton after two years and graduated from Gettysburg College.

In the '80s, Bob Hayman, a resident of Seattle, would occasionally see Arthur, who lived in LA. At one time Arthur was associated with The Television Bureau in LA. Bob recollects that Arthur married, had a son and daughter, and was divorced.

When Bob last heard from Arthur, he was retired and living in Santa Fe. Further attempts to gain additional information have been in vain. We thank Dick and Bob for the details they were able to provide. To Arthur's children, we extend sincere condolences.
