David Chung Ping Chang ’51 *53
Dave died Nov. 30, 2001, in NYC, from complications related to open-heart surgery. He was born in Shanghai, the son of Chang Hsin Hal, a diplomat and university professor. Dave came to us from Hotchkiss; he was in Colonial and was on the 150-lb. crew. He majored in architecture and received both AB and MFA degrees from Princeton.
In 1955 he married the former Lorna Mickle. Dave was an architect, a former Raymond Loewy associate and Nike executive, a flyfisherman, and a painter of glorious watercolors. Over the years, the Changs lived in NYC, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Long Island, and Portland, Ore. In 1992 they retired to East Barnard, Vt. Dave had a quadruple bypass seven years ago, and after attending our 50th reunion with Lorna, he went in for correction of a heart valve problem, which was when we lost him. He is survived by Lorna; their four children, Pamela, Christopher, David '84, and Jennifer; four grandchildren; and his sister, Yi An (Rosita) Chou. A memorial service was held in East Barnard on May 25.
