A. Duane Wilson ’44

Body

A. Duane "Duey" Wilson died May 24, 1995, at the Somerset Medical Center in Somerville, N.J., where he had practiced medicine for 37 years. During that time, he had earlier been chief of obstetrics and gynecology and president of its medical staff. He retired in 1992.

Duey came to us from the George School. At Princeton, he majored in economics and belonged to Tiger Inn. He began junior year rooming with Jack Brennan in Witherspoon but left Princeton in October to enter the Army, where he trained as a paratrooper, spending six months in Europe.

After his discharge from military service, he returned to Princeton, received his A.B. in 1947, then attended Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons, from which he graduated in 1951. After interning at Lenox Hill Hospital in N.Y.C., and a residency there and at Presbyterian Hospital, he settled down in Somerville.

To his wife, Sheila, to whom he was married in 1952; to his sons, Richard, James, and Thomas; to his daughters, Gail, Susan, and Linda; to his brother, Dr. Robert; and to his six grandchildren, the class extends its deepest sympathy.
