Fred Howell, of West Deptford, N.J., died Dec. 20, 1995. Fred's preparation for Princeton began at Hackensack (N.J.) H.S., where he was active in several sports. His college major was philosophy, with second group honors, and he belonged to Dial Lodge.

After pursuing graduate studies in business and law at Columbia, Ohio State, and NYU, Fred worked for nine years in accounting with Arthur Andersen. He married Dawn Lyman of Mt. Vernon, N.Y., and they lived for many years in Oradell, N.J., where they had three sons, Richard in 1939, Stephen in 1940, and Robert in 1948. Fred did his part in community service, including the board of education, boy scouting, and their church.

Later, Fred was associated with the Bay Foundation, which had in-terests in petroleum development in Texas and Colorado. He researched a book about the history and culture of the Hopi Indian tribe titled Book of the Hopi; it was published by Viking in 1963.

Fred and Dawn had recently moved to West Dept-ford. The class sends most sincere condolences to Dawn, the three sons, and four grandchildren.
