Daniel Atherton Winterbottom Jr. ’66

Dan died Oct. 28, 2004, in Dallas, from complications following heart surgery.

At Princeton, Dan majored in history, was a member of Campus Club, and served as managing editor of the Daily Princetonian. One of his notable achievements at the newspaper was securing an interview with George Kennan '25. The interview was featured in Princeton's recent centenary exhibit on Kennan's career.

Following Princeton, Dan graduated from the University of Virginia Law School and later received a master's in taxation from New York University. Dan spent his career practicing real-estate law in Dallas, most recently with Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld. He also had an avid interest in classical music and will be remembered by all who knew him for his keen and lively intelligence mixed with humor, and an appreciation of the absurd.

Dan's marriage to Carol Ann Rice Winterbottom ended in divorce. He is survived by his son, Brant; his daughter, Lena Winterbottom Brandenburg; two grandchildren; and his sister, Linda Allen. To each of them, the class extends its sympathy.
