James F. Turner Jr. ’31

Body

EVERYONE IN '31 knew Jim Turner, who died May 1, 1990. He was the troubadour of our Nassau Hall step songs, as the late Art Knox was our leader. Among other things, Jim was a past president of the Princeton Alumni Assn. of Maryland and a member of the Maryland Chapter of the Red Cross. In recent years he was known as the poet laureate of the Ladew Topiary Gardens of Monkton. To his widow, Jane, and the members of their family, we convey our abiding affection and sympathy.
