Born in Philadelphia, Stu matriculated from the Haverford School. His Princeton major was history. After graduation, he spent two years in the Navy on ships ferrying troops overseas. Upon return to civilian life, he first worked as a store manager for Bloomingdale’s. He found his calling in the 1960s, publishing college textbooks for the next 38 years — most of them as a manuscript-acquisition editor for Prentice Hall.
Stu and his wife of 47 years, Catherine, spent the last 30 years in Bethany, Conn. They helped launch the Heart of Bethany, an organization designed to encourage cooperative civic participation. He also served as an Episcopal churchman at St. Thomas’s Church, New Haven; and Christ Church, Bethany.
The class is honored by his service to our country and extends condolences to his wife and their children, Anne and John.
