Harry Donald Schwaab ’33

Don died June 26, 1997, after a long illness. He was a lifetime resident of Baltimore, and came to Princeton from Gilman with a good number of our classmates. At Princeton he played freshman and varsity lacrosse, sang with the glee club, belonged to the international relations club and the student-faculty association, and was a member of Cloister Inn.

Don earned his law degree at the U. of Maryland Law School, where he was first in his class. For most of his career he was an active trial lawyer with the firm of Miles and Stockbridge. Don participated in pro bono work for Baltimore's needy citizens. He was active in the food ministry of the Episcopal Church and with Genesis Jobs, an employment service that helped people considered marginally employed to get jobs and keep them. His minister said about him, "He was a man of unparalleled integrity and grace. He lived what he believed and was a model of what it means to be an authentic Christian in today's world."

His classmates remember Don as a fine human being and will miss him. We extend our sympathy to his wife, Leila, and to his daughters, Donna Frisch and Linda Hodges.
