New Trier High School in Evanston, Ill., prepared Cal for Princeton, but he spent a year at Northwestern before joining us in 1957. He brought along an enthusiasm for racquet sports and added rowing here, for three years on varsity crew. Cal majored in history, dined at Colonial, and joined the Pre-Law Society.

Upon graduation, he returned to Northwestern for a year of law school before turning to Wall Street. He spent five years with the Bank of New York, earning an MBA and CFA at New York University business school, and then served at several securities firms. He concurrently spent 10 years in venture capital work.

Cal and Dorcas Berry married in 1971. In later years he joined the Berry Group, a New Jersey manufacturing firm. Her family also operated Dorcas of Bay Head sidewalk cafe in Bay Head, N.J., where the family spent their summers for many years. He and Dorcas moved to Vero Beach, Fla., in 2015.

Cal died there Sept. 15, 2024. He is survived by Dorcas and their daughter, also Dorcas, and family. The class’s sympathies go to them all.
