Body

Doug, a longtime resident of Tuxedo Park, N.Y., died June 7, 2010.

He graduated from Mercersburg Academy, having previously attended Ridgewood (N.J.) High School. At Princeton, he studied mechanical engineering before withdrawing in August 1948, presumably to continue his studies elsewhere. He had belonged to Cloister.

We received no news from Doug after he left Princeton other than that he had married and resided at several New Jersey addresses. From Mercersburg magazine, we learned that he had been the president and CEO of Dyne & Lenihan Engineering, from which he retired in 1996, and that he was survived by four sons and seven grandchildren.
