Courtland Hastings ’29

Court died Jan. 2, 1997. He prepared for college at Passaic [N.J.] HS. At Princeton his roommates were Bretaigne Windust, John P. Thatcher '28, and Bud Macdonald.

Right after graduation he went into the rubber business, and stayed with it until he retired, at the end with Hewitt Robbins Co., a subsidiary of Litton Industries. During WWII he worked with the Army and the Navy, especially in connection with self sealing fuel tanks. His greatest personal interest was United World Federalists, and he held various offices in the national organization. He was well known as a public lecturer and radio speaker, and became famous as an all night panelist on a popular radio show, dealing with world government as well as UFOs and ESP.

He married Penelope Bergland in 1937, and she survives him, as well as their daughter, Penelope Belviso, to whom the class extends its sincere sympathy.
