George B. Andrews ’40

George died May 29, 2007, at Wilson N. Jones Medical Center in Sherman, Texas.

He prepared at Paul’s School in Concord, N.H. At Princeton, he was known as “Digger” from his association with some of the “digs” of his father, American explorer Roy Chapman Andrews, the discoverer of dinosaur eggs in Tibet.

At Princeton, he majored in English and French. He was on the freshman cross-country and track teams, and a member of the rugby club and Colonial Club. During World War II, he served with the Air Force as a fighter pilot in France and Germany and was honorably discharged as a captain.

After several positions in advertising and sales, George founded a financial-planning and asset-management company serving Dallas and Sherman. He was a member of the Dallas Princeton Club and was active in sailing, swimming, jogging, and traveling to exotic locales.

George was outspokenly grateful for his 62 years of marriage to his wife, the former Mary Nancy McElhannon, who survives him along with their daughter, Sara Applebee. To them both, his classmates extend their sincere sympathies.
