Jack Barry Maffenbeier ’53

After Jack graduated, he did not keep in touch with the class, and we were saddened when we learned that Jack died Oct. 2, 1993.

Jack was born in Newark, N.J., and prepared at the Pingry School. At Princeton, Jack concentrated in physics, was a member of the American Institute of Electrical and Radio Engineers, and was in Court Club. Jack roomed with George Stauss, and George remembers that Jack was a friendly person with a very private style. During the academic years, Jack would visit his family farm on weekends. The farm was near Blairstown, N.J. Following graduation, Jack became an enlisted electronics technician. He served at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz., and then in Bethesda, Md. It was there that George last saw him, and he recalls Jack giving him a tour "of a gigantic all-vacuum-computer."

We were unable to make contact with Jack's brother, Jed '60.

Our condolences to Jed and others who may survive him.
