Donald Graham Ewing ’48

Don Ewing, who had been in failing health, died Feb. 27, 2000, at Kennebunkport, Maine, where he and Barbara had moved in 1991 in fulfillment of their lifelong dream. Barbara died in Jan. 1997. She was his joy and reason for living.

A native of Montclair, N.J., Don attended Montclair H.S. and came to Princeton in 1944, graduating in 1949. He was in the Navy from 1945-46. He majored in biology and was in Colonial.

Don started his business career with Cone Mills as a merchandise manager. He created and promoted new fabrics for sportswear. After a crippling heart attack, he resigned from the textile industry. In due course, he received teaching certification for science and worked with neurologically impaired and emotionally disturbed children.

On retiring to Maine, Don and Barbara operated their tree farm. He was active in civic affairs. He was an amateur naturalist and an avid birder. He had a lifelong interest in music and played the organ daily.

To his daughter, Sally Abbott, and son Robert, the class extends its profound condolences.
