Edmund K. Trent ’36

Sadly, Ed Trent died June 14, 2006, just two weeks after attending our 70th reunion. We were aware of the struggle he had just to be there. Despite his physical problems, he was able to participate fully. His daughter Steph-
anie did a wonderful job as shepherdess.

Ed was born in Pittsburgh and spent most of the rest of his life as a resident of Sewickley, Pa. His father was Edmund K. Trent 1905.

After preparing at Hotchkiss, Ed majored in modern languages at Princeton and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He was on the varsity track and soccer teams and was assistant manager of the Student Tutoring Association.

Ed graduated from Harvard Law School in 1939. Shortly afterward he joined the law firm of Reed, Smith, Shaw & McClay in Pittsburgh, where he became a partner in 1958 and remained one until his retirement in 1982.

Ed married Helen Read of Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1942. She predeceased him, but after Ed's retirement they were able to travel a bit and spent two years living in London and Munich.

We send our heartfelt sympathy to their three daughters, Linda and Stephanie Trent and Elaine Trent Dow.
