James B. Dawson ’49

Body

Jim died Nov. 12, 2002. He was 76. He is identified in our Freshman Herald as Bernard Kazlauskas, but changed his name shortly after graduation. He came to Princeton from service as a Navy Seabee. He was a member of Terrace Club.

After graduation he became a self-employed stockbroker and spent his entire career in Montgomery County, N.J. He was president and a member of Montgomery Township Volunteer Fire Co. 2 and also served as a volunteer for the Medical Center at Princeton fundraising department.

Jim is survived by his wife, Lucille; two sons, Peter and Matthew; two daughters, Susan Carril and Sally O'Grady; and six grandchildren. The class extends its sincere sympathy to them all on their loss.
