Edward Barr McEnerney ’45

Ed died on Nov. 26, 1998, but the class did not receive notification of his death until this year. Ed, a native of Bridgeport, Conn., entered Princeton from Horace Mann School. He became a member of Elm Club, but WWII interrupted his Princeton career. He became a communications specialist with the 134th Communication Squadron, seeing service as a lt. in both France and Germany. Ed returned to Princeton and received a degree from the school of public and international affairs in 1947 and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He then joined the CIA in Washington, DC. Ed later returned to the Bridgeport area and became employed by the accounting firm of Peat Marwick Mitchell in NYC. Although he retired from the firm in 1988, he remained a consultant with them until his death. Ed advised us that one of his main retirement occupations was to renovate houses, an enterprise for which Princeton had not well equipped him but which he enjoyed as he educated himself in the arcane requirements of building renovation.

Ed is survived by his wife, who continues to reside at their Stratford, Conn., home. The class extends its sympathy to her.
