Charles E. Fedden ’53

Body

We are saddened by the death of Chuck Fedden, June 12, 1997, in NYC. He leaves behind a loving wife, Joyce, two children, Joy and Steve, and a sister, Jane Hammarstrom.

Chuck graduated from Teaneck H.S. At Princeton he majored in economics and his club was Cannon. We remember his mellifluous and authoritative voice on WPRU, where he was senior staff announcer and news director. He played IAA football and basketball and was in the advertising forum. Chuck roomed all four years with Blair Hostetler, Bill Scragg, and Guy Stroh, the last three in 309 Hamilton Hall. Guy recalls this was the site of happy times--vigorous touch football with good friends on the grassed area outside their room and high spirited poker and pinochle games inside.

Chuck received his law degree from Harvard in 1956 before joining a large Wall Street group of attorneys, where he specialized in estates and trusts. Most recently he was of counsel to smaller firms in NYC and in private practice within his specialty. Sympathy to our friend Chuck may be expressed by contributing to "Class of '53 Memorial Scholarship," c/o Class Treas. John Strong, 8785 Orchid Island Circle, #202, Vero Beach, FL 32963.
