Harry Mattison Tollerton ’61

Harry died Jan. 26, 2022, in Prince Frederick, Md., having lived for years in nearby Port Republic. We are grateful to neighbor Sally Combs for notifying us of Harry’s death. Sally is looking after his widow, Kathy, who has dementia. 

Harry grew up in Syracuse and came to us from Pulaski Academy. At Princeton, he majored in history, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, was on the Princeton Senate of the Whig-Clio Society, and took his meals at Court. After Princeton, he earned a law degree at Yale and went to Washington to work in international science and technology policy with the Communications Satellite Corp. (COMSAT) and the National Academy of Sciences. Along the way he served as director of international affairs for the American Association of Engineering Societies. 

He was a frequent attendee at our reunions and we last saw him and his wife, Kathy, in person at our 55th. He is survived only by Kathy, whom he married in 1970.
