Douglas A. George ’62

The following memorial was posted online with the May 13, 2015, issue.

Doug died Aug. 8, 2008, of a blood disease. He lived in California at the time.

Doug — or "Duke", as some called him — was born in Chicago and grew up in the suburbs, graduating from Oak Park High School. At Princeton, he was a member of Air Force ROTC, played soccer, and bickered at Tower Club, where he captained the club IAA tennis team. He was studying aeronautical engineering but before graduating, he transferred to North Central College in Naperville, Ill., outside of Chicago, where he majored in business administration.

Though no longer at Princeton, he filed a photo and a profile for our senior year Nassau Herald. By the 1970s, however, he was listed as a "missing" member of the class. The alumni office at North Central College said Doug was also on their "missing" list. We have been unable to learn anything about his career or his life after North Central. Even his cousin, Robert Keck '65, a Chicago lawyer, said that he had had no contact with Doug for some 20 years. There was no word about surviving family members other than Bob.
