George R. Moore Jr. ’65

GEORGE DIED May 9, 1993, shortly after his 51st birthday, of a recurrence of lymphoma and its complications. He was at peace and not in pain. At the time of his death, he was a senior economist at the Federal Reserve in Washington. His most recent work, on inflation's effects and the costs of controlling it, is widely cited. Despite his professional commitment, he found time to share the outdoor pursuits that he loved, such as bicycling, sailing, and mountaineering, with his wife, Lilliam. After Princeton, George earned his Ph.D. in economics from Yale, which was interrupted by a two-year sojourn in the Peace Corps in Botswana. He was named a junior fellow at Michigan, where he did postgraduate work before going to the Fed. Everyone who knew George came away richer from the experience. He had a strong, deep, and memorable laugh that conveyed his great zest for life. The clarity of his intellect, the meticulous way in which he expressed his ideas, the calm thoughtfulness with which he listened, and the unadorned glee he brought to every argument are things that will stay with us always. To his wife, Lilliam; his father, George Sr.; and his brother, Andrew; the class extends its heartfelt sympathy.
