Henri Andre Weismann ’35

Andy died in NYC on Feb. 27, 1999, four days prior to his 85th birthday. At Princeton he majored in economics, became a member of the varsity wrestling team, and joined Campus Club.

After graduation, Andy (who was fluent in six languages) spent the next six years working in South America, representing financial institutions such as Manufacturers Trust Co., Societe Generale de Belgique, and The Swiss Bank Corp. for Amsinck, Sonne Corp. Next came wartime military service, after which he served as a financial adviser to John J. McCloy, U.S. High Commissioner in Berlin, and worked with Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges on the Marshall Plan and other European recovery issues.

Andy then became the State Dept.'s deputy chief of international financial and monetary affairs, director of its Office of Brazilian Affairs, director of U.S. aid to El Salvador and Venezuela, and director of the Office of Commercial Affairs. He received a Meritorious Honor Award upon retiring from government in 1972, then was named a v.p. of Girard International Bank in NYC and adviser to Banco de Estado de Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Andy is survived by his wife, the former Anne Smith, whom he married in 1979. To her and her family, we extend our deep sympathy.
