Davis Reade Post ’31

Body

Dave was born April 28, 1910, in Constantinople. His father, a physician associated with Robert College in Constantinople, was responsible for Dave's remarkable geographical background, for in his early years he also lived in Washington, D.C., Cambridge, Mass., and NYC. David died on Dec. 15, 1996.

He prepared at Lawrenceville, where he was quite active. This continued at Princeton, where he played tennis and won the senior tennis tournament; was news editor and assistant editorial editor of The Daily Princetonian; manager of the University Orchestra; member of Clio Hall; and member of Tower Club. We have no information about his life since graduation.
