George P. Morrell ’31

Body

GEORGE P. MORRELL died Jan. 13, 1990, at his home in Tryon, N.C. He came to college from the Hill school, where he was a star athlete in many sports. At Princeton, he was on the freshman football team and the heavyweight championship boxing team. "Oik," as he was known to his many friends and classmates, was one of our "big" menactive on the ski slopes with fishing and sailsurfing at the shore. To his widow, Martha, and to children and grandchildren, the Class extends its sympathy.
