Henry Curtis Mial ’34
HENRY MIAL died peacefully at his home in Tucson Dec. 26, 1993. With his wife and constant companion, Dorothy, he lived for 14 years in a renovated fisherman's cottage on Lanzarote Island in the Canaries before returning to this country in 1990 and settling in Arizona. He married Dorothy (S.M.U. '36), a professor at Sarah Lawrence, in 1947 and, in his words, they had "lived and worked and played together since."
From 19601971, both worked with the Natl. Training Laboratories in Washington. He sought to bring a sharper focus on community change utilizing small group processes organizational development, and sensitivity training. She worked similarly with school and university systems. They retired in 1971 and lived aboard their 44' ketch in European and Mediterranean waters until 1975, when they acquired the cottage on Lanzarote.
Besides Dorothy, survivors include two sisters, Katherine Heineman and Mildred Turner (widow of our classmate Warren Turner). To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
