Everett Goodman ’40

Ev died on July 9, 2001. At Princeton he was nicknamed "The Beaver," Beav for short, because of his avid study habits. Beav highlighted an academic career with a thesis that graphically warned of the communication limitations of the AM radio band; that stimulated research that developed the alternative FM radio opportunities. Junior and senior years he roomed with Herb Epstein and he coedited the Nassau Lit with Charlie Waugh.

During WWII he served in the Air Force as a key cryptologist on Guam in the period leading up to the dropping of the A-bomb.

He later founded QMO Sales Inc., a radio/television company specializing in product development and TV advertising. Beav retired in 1980 and spent 21 years with his wife, Maggie, commuting between their homes in Florida and Mt. Pocono, Pa.

He leaves behind Maggie and his sons, Tom and Don, to whom the class extends its sincere condolences.
