Charles Wills Vernon Jr. ’39
CHUCK DIED Jan. 30,1991, at his home in North Caldwell, NJ. Before retiring in 1983, he had been for 20 years V.P. of the export division of Champion international Corp. of Stamford, Conn. Chuck was in Champion's N.Y.C. office, from where he marketed paper and paper products overseas, principally in Australia, Europe, the Far East, and South Africa. He enjoyed all the travel this entailed, especially when his wife, Eleanor, could accompany him, as she frequently did until her death in 1989. Not surprisingly for a man who traveled so much, Chuck identified the highlights of his life as marriage, raising a family, and cultivating his friendships including contacts with classmates whenever the occasion arose. He was a member of the Dunworkin Club and the Ranglers of Montclair, the Deer Lake Club of Boonton, and the Princeton Clubs of Montclair and N.Y. He was on the vestry of St. Luke's Episcopal Church.
To his sons Charles III '72 and Philip, and two grandchildren, we offer our sincere sympathy.
