Donald Hayes McGraw ’49

Don died Dec. 28, 1994, of complications arising from a congenital lung disease. According to Fred Hayes, Don's cousin, he fortunately was able to give his youngest daughter away in marriage in November of that year and participate in Christmas with his family.

Don grew up in Portland, Ore., and came to us from Lincoln H.S. At Princeton he majored in history, and was a member of the advertising staff of the Prince, WhigClio, the Republican Club, and Elm Club.

Following Princeton, Don worked with Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. in Washington, D.C., and Oregon and then became part owner of Carter Rice, Inc., a fine paper distributor in the Portland area. Subsequently he owned and operated Pacific Business Forms, a local printing firm, which he sold shortly before his death.

Don married Nancie Stevens in 1953, and they had children Donald Jr., David, Philip, Mary, and Katharine, and, at his death, five grandchildren. He had a delightful sense of humor and was considerate, with a sure sense of values. Don loved his family, home, and business and served his community in many ways. He was a president of the Princeton Alumni Assn. of Oregon.

To Don's family we extend our sincere sympathies at the loss of this vital, caring classmate.
