Harrington A. Lackey ’47

THE CLASS LOST one of its most loyal members when Hal died of cancer Feb. 19, 1991, at age 65 in Nashville, Tenn. He was a practicing patent, trademark, and copyright attorney who lived and practiced his specialty in Nashville most of his adult life.

Hal entered Princeton in July 1943, and graduated with high honors in engineering in 1949. Like so many of us, his college years were interrupted by Army service. He was in the infantry and served in Europe where he received the Bronze Star and Combat infantryman's Badge. By an amazing coincidence, Col. Vaden M. Lackey '25, Hal's father, was on the same ship as Hal when they came home after the war.

Hal was an active member of the Methodist Church, Y.M.C.A., the Exchange Club, and Belle Made Country Club. In each of these organizations he gave freely of his time, often in leadership positions. He and his wife, Jane, were two of the hosts at our Class minireunion in Nashville last January.

Hal was a considerate, loyal friend whom we will remember with deep appreciation and a happy smile for his subtle sense of humor and the many enjoyable hours we spent in his company.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Jane; his son, Harrington A. Lackey Jr.; his mother, Mrs. Vaden M. Lackey Sr.; and his brother, Vaden M. Lackey Jr. '50.
