George Andrew Sullivan Jr. ’70
George, or "Sully," died unexpectedly on Mar. 5, 2002. Originally from Haddonfield, N.J., where he attended Haddonfield Memorial HS prior to Princeton, he spent the last 10 years of his life in Bloomington, Ind. At his service, many friends spoke about the gleam of George's tremendous gifts and the special energy of his relationships with others.
He will be remembered for his starring role in the Triangle Club production of 1967. He later acted in several community productions. Many will remember him also from 150-lb. football, the English dept., Tiger Inn, Orange Key Society, and the "21" Club.
Following Princeton, George went to Villanova Law School, and practiced law for a time in southern New Jersey, but his love for the theater prevailed.
He was the director of audience development for the department of theater and drama at Indiana U. He had earned a master's degree in theater there, as well as a doctorate in its School of Journalism. Except for a brief stint at a college in Louisville, Ky., he spent most of his career teaching at IU, and was voted a distinguished teaching award there by his students.
George will be missed where the Philadelphia Phillies are praised, where fast horses are admired, and where literature and theater are deeply felt. He is survived by his parents and sister, Ella. To them the class offers its most sincere condolences.
