James Moore Miller ’35

Jim died on June 22, 1999, at his home in Chambersburg, Pa. He was 85. He prepared for Princeton at Mercersburg Academy, where his father was registrar. He studied at Princeton for more than three years and left in Feb. 1935. He transferred to Franklin & Marshall College and graduated with a BA in romance languages in 1936.

Over the next decades Jim held various jobs in the defense industry. He worked for Fairchild Aircraft in Hagerstown, Md., rising to become purchasing agent. He next moved to Chase Aircraft in Trenton, N.J., serving as material control supervisor. He then moved on again and spent 27 years as a management analyst at the Army's Letterkenny Ordnance Depot in Chambersburg. Throughout this business career Jim found time to indulge an avid enthusiasm for sports. He played golf and tennis, wrote a sports column for Fairchild's company newsletter and penned one also for The Proprietor, a Chambersburg newspaper.

Jim had two children, Marjorie Moran, and Michael F., with his first wife Oose Flanagan. He also had two daughters, Elissa Derrickson, and Elaine Miller, with Noelle, his second wife, to whom he was married for 48 years. Noelle, his four children, six grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren survive him. To all we extend our most sincere condolences.
