Casper Forman Hegner ’30 *33

CAP DIED of cancer Jan. 27, 1991, at his home In Westcliffe, Colo. Although born in Cincinnati, he spent much of his life in Denver, Colo., and came to Princeton via East High School, Denver. He is remembered as the captain of the Fencing Team, being active on the Tiger Board and the Brica-Brac, and as a member of Whig Hall and Colonial Club. He earned a B.F.A. degree from Yale in 1932, a M.F.A.A. at Princeton in 1933, and attended the Ecole de Beaux Arts, Fountainebleau, France. Depression years he sold soap for Proctor & Gamble, had a job with the Bureau of Reclamation in Denver, and worked for various architects until joining the Marine Corps in 1942. He saw service In Okinawa, was recalled during Korea, and attained the rank of It. colonel.

Cap helped form the firm of Smith, Hegner, and Moore. He then moved to Washington in 1962 to serve as director of architectural services for the Veterans' Administration until 1980.

Casper married Nancy Lee in 1935. They had three sons, C. Frank 11 '58, A. A. Lee '61, and Christopher, who died in 1980. There are rive grandchildren. Nancy died in 1981, and Casper later married Velda Menzel in 1990, in time to join us at our 60th reunion. Cap's enthusiastic loyalty to Princeton had a touch of religious zeal about It and we sympathize deeply with the many who will miss him.
