Ewart John White Jr. ’42

Jack died Apr. 17, 1998, near his home in Small Point, Maine.

A Columbia H.S. graduate, Jack majored in psychology, graduating with honors. He was a member of Sigma Xi and Tiger Inn club. After spending three and a half years during the war in armored field artillery in the European theater, and finishing up as a captain, he entered the textile industry in NYC. Joining Burlington Mills in 1945, he eventually became v.p. of marketing for Klopman Mills. In the late 1960s he helped set up a mill for them in Frosinone, Italy, one of the first mills established abroad by an American textile producer. Based in Paris for 10 years, he led Klopman's European marketing program and was active with the American Cathedral of Paris. A longtime student of Jungian studies at Bowdoin College, he was also a member of the Phippsburg [Maine] Land Trust. After a long career in textiles, Jack retired in 1985 to the house he had built in Maine.

To his widow, Phoebe; to his three sons, Ewart III, Peter, and William; and to his five grandchildren, the class offers its most profound sympathies.
