Everett T. Christmas Jr. ’85

EVERETT DIED Sept. 14, 1989. He was 26 years old.

Prior to his death, Everett was counseling adolescents at Covenant House in N.Y.C., working exhaustingly long hours to provide understanding and love to these teen residents.

Those of us who had the fortunate experience of knowing Everett, both at Princeton and afterward, recall him as an incredibly forceful individual who challenged and inspired us. In his work, he was a brilliant perfectionist, who infused his projects with a passionate spirit; when not working, he brought the same intensity to the pursuit of relaxation and good times. Conversations with him were terrific. in essence, he was one of that rare breed who carehe brought himself fully to the task at hand, whether it was studies or personal relationships. Everett was well loved by many, including those of us at Princeton, and he is sorely missed.
