Body

Ed died June 9, 2008.

According to a medical website, he was a neurological surgeon who received
a medical degree from Columbia University in 1961, had a fellowship at Queens Hospital Center in 1965, and spent his residency at Harvard University in 1967. His last location of practice was in Twin Falls, Idaho.

He came to Princeton from the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Conn. He majored in English and was a member of Tower Club, the fencing and soccer teams, IAA, and the Nassau Herald staff. His senior-year roommates were Dale Busch, Jim Canniffe, Charlie Cookson, Marty Everett, Jim Hazen, Jim Pennington, and Jim Youngelson.

Ed does have an entry with a little more background in our 10th-reunion yearbook, but entries in other yearbooks include just address information. As far as Princeton and the class know, he never married and has no survivors.
