Edwin McKeown ’43

Ed died June 1, 2015, in Piedmont, Calif.

He prepared at New Trier (Ill.) High School, where he was editor-in-chief of the yearbook and a champion tennis player. At Princeton, Ed was on the board of The Daily Princetonian and a manager of the Refreshment Agency. He ate at Tower, majored in Spanish, and roomed with his high school friend Johnson Clark.

After graduation, Ed served in the Air Force before attending Harvard Law School. He practiced law in Chicago for several years before moving to California, where he worked in the treasury department for Kaiser Aluminum.

Ed was active after retirement in community and church affairs in Piedmont and was in the American Society of Corporate Secretaries. He had a strong interest in education for the deaf because Patsy, his wife of 65 years, and son, John, are deaf. Ed also had a great interest in the Great Class of 1943 and served on our executive committee.

Ed is survived by Patsy; children Ann, Katherine, and John; and five grandchildren.
