George H. Found ’40

George died Jan. 4, 2003, in North Conway, N.H. -- "God's Country," in his words.

He prepared at North Terrace H.S. in Schenectady, N.Y. At Princeton he majored in physics. He captained the cross-country team, was on the varsity track, skiing, and class wrestling and swimming teams, and was a member of Key and Seal Club.

After receiving a doctorate of engineering from Yale, he was an executive with Arthur D. Little and Dow Chemical before founding his own specialty metals company, Kearsarge Metallurgy Corp. His many civic and outdoor activities included skiing, fishing, and deepwater sailing. His daughter, Susan, speaks for all when she writes, "To those who knew him best, George was both the dynamic entrepreneur, yet sensitive and supportive husband, father, teacher, friend. His warmth and wisdom are instilled in those who were fortunate enough to have shared in his pursuit of excellence and love of life." George is survived by his wife of 25 years, Janet; his first wife, Shirley; four children, John Stephen, Bruce, James, and Susan F. Anderson; six grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and stepsons Roger and Mark Howard. To them all, his classmates extend their sympathies.
