Carlton McKenney, known to his classmates as "Speed," died April 1, 2004.
Carlton entered Princeton from Woodberry Forest, followed two years later by his brother, Malcolm '47. He joined Campus Club and rowed on the 150-pound varsity crew. His interest in sailing led him to organize and lead the Princeton Yacht Club. Accelerating his studies, Carlton received a degree in electrical engineering in 1944 and then served as a naval aviation officer until the conclusion of World War II.
In 1946 he married Anne Hayes, and joined Virginia Electric Power Co. in Richmond. Carlton and Anne were devoted to sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, to restoring and riding antique railroad equipment as members of the National Railway Historical Society, and to flying. Carlton's interest in railroads resulted in publication of his book Rails in Richmond.
In addition to Anne, Carlton is survived by five children, Elizabeth '84 *89, Alan '75, Bruce '77, Carlton Jr., and Frank; and by seven grandchildren. The class expresses its sympathy to the family.
