Donald Dance Kirby ’57

Body

Our class only recently received notice of Dan's death in 1993. At Princeton Dan majored in SPEC in modern languages and literature. He joined Cottage Club.

After Princeton, Dan did his graduate education at NYU, attaining an MBA in finance and business. Dan also studied at the U. of Lille in France and at the U. Per Stranieri in Italy. He spent one and a half years at a French textile company. He then began a career in finance at Chase Bank in NYC, and later moved to R. W. Pressprich, A. G. Becker, and lastly to Kidder Peabody in Houston.

Our class extends its sympathy to his widow, Ghislaine, his son, Dan Jr., and his daughter, Elizabeth.
