Dwight Anthony Horne ’33

Dee Horne, banker, golfer, sailor, and churchman died Jan. 4, 2001, at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass. He was 89. He attended Pomfret School. At Princeton he was on the gym team, 150 lb. football team, and was president of Cottage Club. He received an MBA from NYU in 1955. Dee was president of the Pomfret School Alumni Assn. and served on the school's board of trustees. During WWII he served as a major in the finance office. His banking career of 40 years was spent in its entirety at the Hanover Trust Co., where he served as secretary of the bank and for 15 years as vice president and manager of its Mayfair branch in Governor's Square. During that time he served as president of the American Overseas Memorial Day Assn., which arranged services honoring American war dead buried in England, and as the American member of the Hansard Society, which advised members of the newly formed British Commonwealth.

Dee was an avid golfer all his life. On weekends in New York, he and his wife, Dorothy Edwards, who predeceased him in 2000, sailed his English-made sloop Grenadier with the New York Yacht Club. On retirement he moved to an old family home in Hyannis Port, where he continued his interests in golf, sailing, printing, and collecting and making clocks.

Dee is survived by his daughter, Susan Anthony Horne Thomas, three granddaughters, and two great-granddaughters. We will all miss this classmate, a versatile gentleman.
