George Spenser Sisson ’44
George died on Dec. 9, 2000. He was raised in Erie, Pa., and prepared at Phillip Exeter Academy; his father was a member of the Class of 1912. George majored in the Program in the Humanities. He was chairman of the Bric-a-Brac and co-manager of Theatre Intime. He roomed with Thurston, Underhill, and Sechrist, and belonged to Campus Club.
After more than three years in the Marine Corps, George joined the State Dept. as a diplomatic courier; his work took him to Bangkok, Manila, Saigon, Singapore, much of Latin America, and later Russia and France. He worked for a while in management at Washington's Shoreham Hotel and, after a career at Chase Bank in NYC, returned to the field of hotel management at The Lodge in Stowe, Vt.
He did not marry. He is survived by his sister, Lois, to whom the class sends its sympathies.
