Cecil Ackmond Beasley Jr. ’35

After several years of declining health, Cec died Aug. 4, 2000, at his home in Washington, DC. He prepared for Princeton at St. Albans School in Washington and, at Princeton, majored in economics (second group honors, junior year), was news editor of the Daily Princetonian, and belonged to Colonial Club. After graduation, he entered Yale, got a law degree in 1938, spent a few years clerking in the US Court of Claims in DC and then became a partner in Kirkpatrick, Ballard & Beasley until he retired in 1990.

Throughout his working years as a lawyer, Cec specialized in aviation law and traveled widely, both in the US and abroad. But he still found time to participate actively in many civic and school organizations. For Princeton, he served not only as a director of the Princeton Club of Washington, and chair of DC AG campaigns, but also as a member of '35 class council.

His wife, the former Parthenia "Pats" Stubblefield, whom he married on Oct. 29, 1942, predeceased him in 1976. He is survived by their two daughters, Virginia Otis and Cynthia Cohan, and four grandchildren.
