James G. Hiering ’53

JIM DIED suddenly, of a heart attack, on Mar. 12, 1992, while on a ski trip in Utah with his wife, Mary~

Jim grew up on the ocean front in Seaside Park, N.J. He came to us by way of Malvern Preparatory School, where he was a Class officer for four years and graduated at the top of his Class. At Princeton, Jim was a member of Campus Club, the prelaw society, and the board of THE DAILY PRINCETONIAN. He went on to Harvard Law School, and upon graduation in 1956, he joined the law firm of Keck, Mahin & Cate in Chicago. As a partner at K.M.C. for 33 years, he was cited in WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN LAW in 1983 for his work in antitrust and federal civil litigation. Although he was very active in many civic, cultural, and charitable organizations in Chicago, he and Mary decided to take early retirement in 1989 and moved to the Annapolis area, where they could pursue their love of sailing.

In his bricftwo and a halfycars on the Chesapeake Bay, Jim again became very active in community life. He was a deacon at First Presbyterian Church of Annapolis and served on the board of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra. He also enjoyed the Rotary Club, several sailing clubs, and a running club. We're happy he took early retirement and found time to enjoy sailing, traveling, piano lessons, and grandchildren.

In addition to Mary, Jim is survived by five daughters: Julie, Tricia, Susan, Leslie Schmidt, and Lisa Urbank, three grandchildren; and a brother, Thomas C. '45. The Class's sympathies are extended to each of them.
