Carl F. Fayen ’27

CARL DIED Sept. 29, 1990, in retirement at New Canaan, Conn. There he read, walked, golfed, played tennis, and enjoyed the senior men's club. He became a confirmed New Englander by joining the local Congregational church. He had an unusually varied career as a manufacturer, manufacturer's representative, broker, engineer, and inventor, the holder of several patents. And along with all his active business interests, he was a veteran traveler in the U.S.A., the West Indies, Europe, Canada, and elsewhere.

Most of all, Carl enjoyed being a gentleman farmer and cattle rancher at his "Utopia farms," 600 acres at Oatlands, near Leesburg, Va. Carl evidently found solace there after the deaths of wives Alice Parsons Fayen (1936) and Nancy Purchase Gilpin Fayen (1953).

When asked, for a Class book, about his hobbies, Carl replied "My family"especially his sons, Carl Frederick Jr. ("Rick") and Frederick George Herman Fayen, and a stepdaughter, Nancy Gilpin Robertson, To them and their families the Class extends greetings and sympathy.
