Franklin Ruhstaller Hall ’38

BUD HALL, director of various overseas operations for Exxon for 25 years, died March 31, 1991, of pneumonia. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Bud was a Lawrenceville School alumnus. He joined Cap and Gown Club and majored in English. He played football, earning his numerals and three varsity letters.

Following graduation he joined Natl. City Bank, which sent him to Brazil. In 1943 he joined the Air Force. Upon discharge he joined Standard of New Jersey in foreign marketing, again in Brazil, and eventually became president of Exxon's South American subsidiary in Montevideo, later directing branches in India and Malaysia.

He retired from Exxon in 1971 to form Area Consultant, specializing in relocating corporate transferees to and from New York, which he ran for ten years. Wherever he was, he gave of his energy to community causes.

Since they spent most of their life overseas, we saw Bud and Phyllis infrequently, but he remained a loyal Princetonian and ran the $53 million campaign in Brazil.

Phyllis survives, as do daughter Anne Brodginski and son Carey. We are with them in their loss of our popular classmate.
