Frederic T. Brandt ’41

Fred Brandt died on Dec. 10, 1999. His wife, Dorothy Kitchell Brandt, survives.

Fred was an honors graduate in economics and joined Tower Club. After graduation, he went to Yale law school, and then on to the US Steel Corporation. Other activities were helping administer Highland Community College, serving as a trustee and elder at the Freeport, Ill., Presbyterian Church, being a past director of the Kiwanis, and helping with Senior Citizen and Aging committees. One of his and Dory's interests was sailing. Ten years ago, they accompanied Jack and Barbara Busch on a four-day round-trip to Daytona and Vero Beach aboard a 40-foot Grand Banks trawler.

Other survivors are a son, Frederick III, and a daughter, Helen Kelleher. We salute this gentleman for his brilliance and his understanding of what citizenship means.
