James Kuhn Buechner ’50

Jamie Buechner died on July 25, 1998, after a bout with cancer. He was 69.

He prepared at Lawrenceville, where he participated in publishing the school newspaper. He was in the US Army Occupation Forces in 1947. A member of the Cap and Gown, Jamie graduated from Princeton with a degree in English in 1952.

We know very little about Jamie after graduation except that he worked in journalism. His friends describe him as being gifted with a wonderful sense of humor and a touch of whimsy. Even toward the end of his life, he never gave vent to anger or frustration for his cancer.

Jamie is survived by his wife, Jacqueline, to whom the class sends its most heartfelt sympathies.
