George A. Chadwick Jr. ’32

Body

Jay died on July 20, 2001. He lived in Buckinghams Choice in Adamstown, Md. He prepared at Gaithersburg H.S. and Saint Albans School and at Princeton was treasurer of Madison Club, and a member of Whig-Clio, Delta Sigma Rho, and Theatre Intime. He roomed with Joel Johnson sophomore, junior, and senior years. He received his LLB from Georgetown U. and was admitted to the DC bar in 1936 and to the Maryland bar in 1944. He conducted the Chadwick Bar Review School from 1937 until he entered the armed forces in 1943. He was discharged a captain in 1946.

He entered the practice of law in 1938 with Frost, Myers and Towers. In 1968 he became associated with his son Charles in general practice. Following his retirement from law, Jay indulged his lifelong interest in railroading by organizing and operating the Maryland Midland Railway, Inc., a short-line railroad operating along nearly 70 miles of track in Carroll and Frederic Counties in Maryland.

We send our condolences to his widow, Jill, and his four children, George III, Charles, Jane Adams, and Don Seaman.
