Francis Hamilton Dyckman Jr. ’48
FRANK DYCKMAN DIED Feb. 24, 1991. Born in London and always an anglophile, Frank came to us by way of Buckley School and Lawrenceville. At Princeton he was captain of varsity soccer for three years, roomed with Bill Blair, and graduated cum laude.
After army service and a stint at the Univ. of Paris, Frank's love of books and learning took him to the distinguished publisher, Houghton Mifflin, where he served from 195278, for the most part as manager of the N.Y. office. In 1979 he returned to Lawrenceville to be director of alumni relations and was responsible for all alumni activities. He served until his death.
Frank's firm loyalty and gentle good nature characterized his chairing our 25th reunion and his term as Class president, 197378. His avid devotion to Princeton and to Lawrenceville were all of a piece.
Frank was the founder and longtime president of the Princeton Soccer Assn., the youth soccer program that now involves some 800 boys and girls. He was for many years treasurer of the Dyckman House Museum Fund, which maintains the Dyckman farmhouse in N.Y.C., a National Registered Historic Landmark.
To his widow, Sue, daughters Jennifer Aldrich '82 and Catherine, and son Kinsey '85 the Class extends its deepest sympathy and shares in their loss.
