Frederick O. Russell ’37

Printing sales representative and coin collector Fred Russell died Apr. 4, 1999, leaving his wife, Barbara (just short of their 57th wedding anniversary), children James, Holly, and Scott, and three grandchildren.

Fred, a graduate of Lawrenceville, left Princeton in the fall of sophomore year to work with Consolidated Lithographing Co. as an estimator of costs. In Feb. 1941 he was inducted into the Army and spent just over five years with many assignments in different parts of the country in anti-aircraft units. He ended up a captain and commander of a German prisoner of war camp in Farragut, Idaho.

He returned to Consolidated Lithographing, specializing in sales of cigar and liquor labels (what a lovely combination), until his retirement to Florida in Nov. 1980, when he was 65.
