Donald G. Aldrich ’31

Body

WORD HAS ONLY recently been received of the death of our classmate, Donald G. Aldrich, in Dec. 1989. Don came to Princeton from East Orange High School, and was on the freshman football squad and the Class of '31 football team. During WWII he worked for Western Electric on radar contracts. Subsequently, he served as a director of Gunther Jaeckel, Inc., until 1959 when he moved to Boynton Beach, Fla., where he was residing at the time of his death. He and his wife, Mildred, who predeceased him, traveled extensively. A son, Stewart, also predeceased Don. To his remaining son, Bruce, the class extends its sincere sympathy.
