Arthur J. Fallon ’37

Art Fallon died June 3, 1996, leaving his wife of 50 years, Ginny (a distant cousin of Alex Armstrong), and daughters Ann and Kathryn. He was famous, along with Jack Morrissey, for masterminding the plot concerning the countrywide journeys of the old Nassau Inn sign for 52 years before it was returned to grace the underside of the present entrance.

At Princeton, Art majored in economics and was on the 150-pound football team for three years. He was office manager of the Princeton Pictorial and a member of Cannon Club.

He pursued legal studies at U. of San Francisco law school and tied up with United Air Lines. During WWII he was a navigator with the United Airlines Pacific Ops division of the U.S. Air Transport Command. He was employed by United Airlines from 1938-54 working in sales, flight ops, and as assistant director of properties. From 1954-67 he was deputy director of aviation for the New York Port Authority. In 1967 he moved to Buffalo, N.Y., where he was the executive director for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and president of Metro Bus. He retired in 1977, but continued to serve as a consultant for a few years. He was an avid golfer, tennis player, and skier. All our condolences go to Ginny and the girls.
