Elb came to Princeton via Lawrenceville School and left after freshman year to attend Northwestern Univ. of Commerce. His career was in banking specializing in trust income tax work. He spent many years with the First Natl.

He and his wife, Virginia, were fond of traveling and did so frequently, often to far places like the Far East and remote parts of Africa.
