James Archibald Kerr ’32 *35

Arch Kerr died Mar. 20, 1996, at the Meadow Lakes retirement community in Hightstown, N.J. After graduation, Arch went on to graduate studies in architecture at Princeton and Columbia. After a trip through Europe studying architecture, he practiced in Englewood, Montclair, Princeton, and Washington, D.C. During WWII, he served in the Marine Corps Aviation Reserve at Harvard and at Cherry Point, N.C., and with a fighter squadron in the South Pacific and Pacific Asiatic areas as a utilities officer.

After 1946 Arch practiced his profession with architect Kenneth Kassler and with the firm Walker, Sander, Ford & Kerr. He also worked independently. He undertook a wide variety of architectural commissions, including many universityrelated projects. The majority of his work was residential and in the Princeton area. He did a great deal of volunteer work for Nassau Presbyterian Church, the Trenton branch of the Architectural Society of America, and Habitat for Humanity.

Arch spent the summers at "South Point," Grenell Island, one of the Thousand Islands in the St. Lawrence River in New York, where he had gone since childhood.

In 1955 Arch married Lawrence Norris. The two of them were loyal Princetonians, regularly attending our class functions regardless of his loss of hearing.

Our deep sympathy goes out to Lawrie, who survives him, along with a grandnephew, three grandnieces, and many cousins.
