Carleton Bartlett Gibson ’50

Gib died Apr. 8, 1998, at Candler Hospital in Savannah, Ga. He was 69.

Gib prepared at St. Paul's School [L.I.]. At Princeton he was with the Daily Princetonian and Orange Key and was an ROTC battery commander.

Gib served in Army counterintelligence during the Korean War, earning the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, and was discharged a captain. He joined Western Publishing in NYC, retiring in 1984 as publishing sales manager. He and his staff prepared graphics for the AP's book on the JFK assassination, The Torch Is Passed.

Next, in Savannah, Gib founded the Skidmark group, a oneman publishing business he ran from home. He was a trustee of Historic Savannah Foundation and the Lucas Theatre for the Arts, a member of the City Market Committee, program chairman for the Savannah Scottish games, and with many other organizations. A founding member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, he was on the Parish Council and was junior warden. Our class notes of Nov. 4 documented his fundraising for Princeton; his stint with the Olympic Committee appeared in the Oct. 9, 1996, notes.

Gib is survived by his wife of 41 years, Kay, son Carleton B. IV, and daughter Katherine A., to whom the class extends its deepest sympathies.
