Edward Johnson Sanger ’39

After suffering from Alzheimer's for several years, Ted died in Medford, Ma., Apr. 26, 2000. In our 40th year book Ted wrote "Princeton taught me an open-mindedness and started me on a quest for truth and social justice, which underscores my daily and long-term endeavors." That quest began when Ted enlisted in the navy prior to Pearl Harbor and went on to serve in the air force and Air Sea Rescue Patrol until 1946. He then worked for Goodall Rubber in Pittsburgh for three years until moving to Boston where he founded The Listening Post, a store selling high fidelity equipment, which became a meeting place for serious music lovers. Receiving a master's in education from Boston U. in 1963, he went on to become principal of Shaw Preparatory School in Boston. Later in his career, Ted held a series of public service positions, culminating as employment specialist for the Mass. Dept. of Elder Affairs.

Ted is survived by his wife, Juliet, whom he married in 1960, son Duncan and daughter Kate. We offer them our sincere sympathy.
