Frank Marcy Browning ’34

FRANK BROWNING, a resident of Jamaica, West Indies, since 1971, died June 9, 1989, in a nursing home near Alexandria, Va. A chemical engineer, he had been associated with Union Carbide & Carbon in N.Y.C., and for many years lived at the old Princeton Club on 39th St., where he served in the late 1950s as chairman of the house committee.

Frank had what his nephew at a memorial service called "Uncle Frank's great and almost awesome gift," the ability to bridge the generation gap. "It was almost uncanny," he continued, "the way younger people and children flocked to Uncle Frank as though he were some pied piper. He had the rare ability of not only being able to enter their world, but, more important, to instill in them complete trust... Even grown-ups had only to know the man for a short period of time, and he intuitively became 'Uncle Frank.' "

To his nephew, William B. Selby, of Fredericksburg, Va., and to other members of his family, we offer our sincere sympathies.
