Colin Campbell Reid ’38

Colin died on Nov. 24, 2001. At Princeton he majored — brilliantly — in chemistry. He graduated with high honors, won the George A. Howe 1978 Prize in analytical chemistry, and was both Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi. After earning a PhD from Yale, Colin taught for four years at Williams College, and then served 25 years with the CIA.

After he retired he spent 10 years teaching part-time at a local community college. A deacon of his church, he also volunteered tax counseling for the elderly and recording for the blind.

For our 50 Years Later book he described himself as "Very much the same. I still love things scientific, still am a perfectionist, still enjoy humor of all types."

His wife, Rosina, son Douglas, and daughter Frances Boyne survive, as well as six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The class extends its sympathy and warm good wishes to the family.
