Body

Earl (whom we knew as Claude at Princeton) came from University City (Mo.) High School, joined Cannon Club, majored in English, and roomed with Fred Atwood, Carl Bickert, and Ray McGill.

Earl joined the Army and served — after studying Mandarin at the Army Language School in Monterey, Calif. — in Korea and Japan. This skill had a later value when, during his long career at McGraw-Hill, he was instrumental in establishing a Chinese-language edition of Business Week in 1986, in cooperation with the Chinese government.

He retired as vice president, international, in 1991 and then founded a consulting business, Asia Pacific Marketing. He and his wife, Darlene, lived in Greenwich, Conn., where Earl was a member of Rotary and the Milbrook Club.

Earl died Aug. 16, 2013. The class sends sympathy to Darlene and their son, Earl S. III.
