Bayard MacDonald Stevens ’39

After a long hard battle with cancer, Willie died at his home in Vero Beach, Fla., Apr. 15, 1998. He and Mary, his wife of 58 years, had moved there from Bay Head, N.J., 14 years ago when Willie finally retired from a career in marketing and personal financial planning. Throughout retirement he gave generously of his time in volunteer work and civic involvement, serving for a time as secretarytreasurer of a local civic watchdog group. He loved music and was one of the founders of the Treasure Coast Jazz Society. As area rep for Princeton Annual Giving, he was proud that in 1987 his area led the country in percentage of donors. He regularly delivered MealsonWheels, and for years after his own first bout with cancer, he did counseling and other volunteer work for the American Cancer Society of Vero Beach.

To Mary, their son Bayard Jr., and daughter Elizabeth Bergstein, we offer our sympathy as with them we say goodbye to our old friend.
