Charles S. Iversen ’43

Our class lost its vice president, Chuck, Jan. 27, 2018.

He was a graduate of Central High School in Washington D.C., where he was a member of the National Honor Society. At Princeton Chuck majored in modern languages and literature and was the winner of the Mary Cunningham Humphreys German award. He was a member of Whig-Clio, the Westminster Society, the fencing team, and Cloister Inn.

After graduation Chuck was commissioned as a Field Artillery officer. He landed on Utah Beach with the Fifth Infantry Division and earned five battle stars. He spent some time with Army Intelligence and then went to Georgetown Law School, where he earned a law degree and then went into private practice.

A large part of Chuck’s life was his service to various Masonic organizations. The high point was his term as grand master in Washington, D.C. In 2001 a window at the George Washington National Masonic Memorial in Arlington, Va., was dedicated to him.

Chuck was predeceased by his wife of 72 years, Eleanor. He is survived by his daughter, Joan Athen; two grandchildren; and two great grandchildren. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
