Edward Walker Givens ’39

Only recently we learned that Ed died in Aug. 1994. His mind had been failing for several years, and when his wife died in 1993, Ed entered a nursing home, where he died a little over a year later.

Ed worked in the steel industry all his life, first with Midvale Co. in Philadelphia, then with the Latrobe Steel Co., where he was assistant to the v.p. of operations at the time of his retirement.

A sports enthusiast particularly devoted to baseball, as an undergraduate Ed was a threesport numeral man and in 1937 was allEastern Intercollegiate League catcher. In his hometown of Latrobe he continued those interests and contributed to local affairs of all kinds. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, active in Boy Scout programs and the local Community Chest. He and Ruth Humphreys were married in 1941. Their son, Eric, daughter Judith, and four grandchildren survive. We offer them our sincere sympathy.
