Edwin Seton Jarrett Jr. ’29
TED DIED Oct. 7, 1991. He prepared for college at Storm King Deep Springs School. At Princeton he played freshman baseball and was president of the philosophical club. He roomed with Frank Robinson. He entered Harvard Business School, but in 1930 joined Equitable Life. In 1954 he became director of field training at Mutual Life in New York, and in 1970 took semiretirement and moved to Minneapolis to work in the Minnesota Insurance Information Center.
During the war, Ted enlisted in the Army and, after many medals and decorations, ended as a lieutenant colonel. His interests included music, travel, tennis, and touch football. But his greatest interest of all was badminton, and he was a leading figure in the American Badminton Assn. and the international Badminton Federation, of which he became V.P. in 1969. He played in 22 consecutive U.S. national championships, and twice reached the semifinals.
Ted did not marry, and his survivors are a niece, Heather Fowler Salamini, and a nephew, Terry Fowler. The Class extends its sincere sympathy to them.
