Fain Carter Crain ’42

Word was received recently that Carter died Mar. 21, 1995, in Houston, Tex. He had retired from managing his commercial and residential real estate business in Houston.

Carter prepared for Princeton at the Hill School, majored in economics, and was a member of Elm Club. During WWII, he worked at the Hughes Tool Co. and served with the Coast Guard. He received an MBA at Harvard in 1947, before returning to the family real estate business in Houston. He served as president of the Garden Oaks Village Co., the Garden Oaks Village Property Owners Assn., and as secretary of the Sylvan Beach Co. He had been a member of the Houston Home Builders Assn., Allegro, the Houston Country Club, and the Galveston Boat Club, where he had acted as director and commodore. His wife, Virginia "Dawsie," whom he had married in 1946, predeceased him in Oct. 1994.

To his children, Katharine, Carter Jr., Jim, Giny, and Mark, and to his brother, Dr. Edward Lillo Crain Jr. '39, the class extends its most sincere condolences.
