Frederick E. Winans ’37

QUIET PRINCETONIAN Fred Winans died May 11, 1990, in a nursing home. He left second cousins and has to be classified as a war casualty.

Fred was basketball manager and on the football and wrestling teams at Central High school in Pennington, NJ. At Princeton he majored in chemistry and was a Class "B" Scholarship winner two years. He was on the rugby team and the 150pound football team, and a member of the Young People's Society and Gateway.

He started off as a chemist with the Shell Oil Company, then was a chemist and material inspector for the State of New Jersey and supervisor of the Ravenna (Ohio) Ordnance Plant, an ammonia nitrate plant for boom loading, operated by the Atlas Powder Company.

He went into the war in 1942 with the 79th chemical warfare company as a private, and won three Bronze Stars in campaigns in Normandy, Northern France, and Germany, but developed combat fatigue in the Battle of the Bulge and was discharged in June 1945, after two months in the hospital in England, going into the Veterans Hospital in Lyons, NJ. He was in retirement for years in Ormond Beach, Fla., but along the way conscientiously paid Class dues and Annual Giving and attended our 25th reunion. "I certainly appreciated the ALUMNI WEEKLY."
