He came to us from St. Albans School in Washington. During World War II Jim joined the Army. His unit landed at Marseille and fought its way north to the Vosges Mountains. Jim was wounded there, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.
Jim returned to Princeton and graduated in 1948. Following graduation, Jim went to the University of Virginia Law School, where he met fellow student Sally Crew, who had just graduated from Vassar. After completing law school, Jim married Sally, and they had two sons, James and Thomas.
Tragically, Sally died in a house fire. Jim married a widow, Jackie Pendleton. Jackie died in 2011. Jim is survived by his two sons. He will be long remembered by the Class of ’46.
