George W. Morris ’46

We knew George was headed for the Broadway stage when he sang John MacFadyen’s “As I Remember You” in the 1942 Triangle show Time and Again. He also starred in the 1946 and 1947 Triangle Club productions, made his Broadway debut singing in As the Girls Go in 1948, and sang on radio and early television. This led him into advertising, and he worked for 10 years at Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, handling brands such as Campbell’s Soup, Revlon, and an ethyl gasoline additive.

George left Madison Avenue to help spark Knudsen-Moore, a small, well-respected ad agency headquartered in Fairfield County, Conn. His years there were punctuated by volunteer hours as a substitute teacher in Armonk, N.Y., where he lived and could not venture downtown without harvesting excited greetings from devoted former pupils.

At the time of his death May 28, 2013, he was survived by his wife, Joan, and sons Chris *78 and Brian ’78. His son Tim predeceased him. All ’46ers miss this talented classmate who said of his golf game, “What’s the big deal about shooting your age? I do it every time I go out, sometimes in just three or four holes.”
