Charles Douglas Galloway Jr. ’35

Body

Doug died at his summer home in Beach Haven, N.J., on July 20, 2001. He prepared for Princeton at Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia, and, at college, majored in mechanical engineering, winning second group honors in his junior year. He also was secretary-treasurer of the Engineering Society and belonged to Cloister Inn.

After Princeton, Doug got a job with the Chambersburg Engineering Co. in Chambers-burg, Pa., where he rose to works manager and was made the company's secretary and a director in the mid-'50s. He remained a director until 1993, a full 15 years after retiring from day-to-day work there.

In June of 1943, Doug married Mary Margaret (Peg) Aylsworth. They had two sons, C. Douglas IV '69 and Arthur, and "shared a deep love for sailing," said Doug. They belonged to the Little Egg Harbor [N.J.] Yacht Club, and cruised extensively up and down the Atlantic Coast, sometimes even dropping in on the Bahamas.

Until the final months of his life, Doug pursued an active interest in model-building and woodworking. In addition to Peg and their sons, he leaves two grandsons, a niece, and a nephew, Henry Grove III '55.
