Fred, our class treasurer since 1979 and former vice president of the Travelers Insurance Co., died Mar. 2, 2003. A resident since 1991 of the Duncaster retirement community in Bloomfield, Conn., where he was the 8-ball pool champ in 1995, he was 91.

He served as treasurer of the Webster Foundation and Historical Society for 17 years. In 1990 he was treasurer also of the Princeton Alumni Assn. of Central Connecticut. During WWII he was a Navy lieutenant aboard the USS General M. B. Stewart, and he recalled later "with pleasure the many wonderful men I came to know."
