Frank Martin McElhinney ’52
Mac died Nov. 7, 2002, at the U. of Pittsburgh Medical Center Montefiore Hospital.
He prepared for Princeton at Linsly Mili-tary Institute and the Hill School. In 1950, midway through his pursuit of an AB degree and shortly after joining Cannon Club, Mac left our class for the Air Force, where he served four years, mostly as a drill sergeant.
On leaving the Air Force he decided, because of deaths in his family, to finish his university education at his father's alma mater, the U. of Pittsburgh. He received his AB there in 1956.
From 1956 to his retirement in 1996, Mac enjoyed a successful career as general manager of sales for Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel. At the time of his death, he was resident of Oakmont, Pa., where he was a member of the Oakmont Country Club. Above all, Mac was a loving family man and a faithful friend.
To his beloved wife of 47 years, Shirley; his children, Bruce, Betsy, and David; grandchildren Kate, Andrew, Tyler, and Bradford; sister, Shirley Weaver; and his many friends, the class extends its deepest sympathy.
