Douglas C. MacDonald ’58

Doug died May 29, 2020, in Pittsfield, Mass. He was 84. 

He came to Princeton from Clifford Scott High School in East Orange, N.J., where he was a member of the band. At Princeton Doug was a member of Cannon Club and managed the News Agency. He majored in English and was one of a small group of seniors who were married, so much of his extra time was occupied. 

After graduation Doug earned a master’s degree in English and a doctorate in philosophy of education. He was a teacher and administrator in schools and colleges for 24 years. In 1984 he began a new career as a psychotherapist, getting an MSW degree from Smith College. 

He loved hiking, listening to music, photography, and spending time with his dogs. He was an avid reader with myriad interests and was a mentor to many. 

Doug is survived by his wife, Sherry; and their daughter, Cameron. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
