Clifford O Bradley Hara ’39

Cliff died June 26, 2002, in Greenwich, Conn., of complications from a systemic staphylococcus infection. Though he retired in 1962 as director of port commerce for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, where he had worked since 1953, he remained active as port consultant to Frederic R. Harris and Co. He was president of the North Atlantic Ports Assn. from 1961-64, of the American Assn. of Port Authorities from 1979-80, and of the Containerization and Intermodal Institute from 1976-78. Appointed by Pres. Carter to the binational board of directors of the Panama Canal Commission, he served from 1980-82 and was reappointed by Pres. Clinton, serving from 1994 to the turnover of the canal to the Republic of Panama on Dec. 31, 1999.

Cliff and Henna (Helen Hanford) were married in 1941, and in their 61 years together enjoyed an ever-growing family of three daughters, two sons, 10 grandchildren, three stepgrandchildren, three great-grandchildren and four step-great-grandchildren. To Henna and all this loving family we offer our sincere sympathy. And we add our admiration for Cliff's many years of distinguished public service.
