Charles Bagley III ’44

A psychiatrist, Charles died March 22, 2005, at his home at Heron Point, Chestertown, Md. He was 82.

He taught and practiced psychiatry for more than 30 years in Maryland, mostly in the Salisbury area. After retirement in 1992, he was seeking a new "improved" inner self, hoping for "progress, not perfection," he wrote humbly in our 50th-reunion directory.

Charles prepped at Gilman School in Baltimore, and was active in wrestling and the student newspaper. At Princeton, he was a member of the wrestling squad, the Daily Princetonian, the Madison Debating Society, St. Paul's Society, and Colonial Club.

In 1943, he transferred to Loyola College in Baltimore, for his bachelor's degree. After serving two years in the Marine Corps, Charles went on to earn a doctorate from the University of Maryland. He was a life fellow in the American Psychiatric Association and the American Society of Addictive Medicine, and a member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church.

Charles is survived by his wife, Margaret; two sons, Charles IV and John O.; a daughter, Mary M.; four stepdaughters, Patricia, Sandra and Deborah Lemmerman, and Karen Mueller; stepson Douglas Lemmerman; a sister, Elizabeth B. Gerlach; and eight grandchildren. Our warm condolences go to all.
