James Winslow Hundley ’40

Lifelong Baltimorean Jim Hundley died Sept. 1, 1998, at his summer home at Watch Hill, R.I. Classmates Beau Pearre and Harry Turner attended his services in Ruxton, Md. Jim (known as "The Snake" to his close Princeton friends) prepared at St. Paul's School and majored in mechanical engineering. He played freshman hockey, enjoyed the game of squash, and belonged to Cottage Club. His roommates senior year were Jim Burkham, Al Fuller, Crawf Madeira, and Ralph Yardley. From 1942-46 Jim served as a naval officer conducting research at the Patuxent [Md.] Naval Air Station. For over 25 years he was an engineering executive with Koppers Co., Inc.

In college Jim was a quiet, wellliked figure who enjoyed all aspects of undergraduate life. Although he did not play team sports, he did display remarkable athletic ability when the spirit moved him. In later years Jim engaged in waterfowl hunting and deepsea fishing. Golf, a large and growing family, gardening, and travel occupied much of his retirement life.

Jim is survived by his wife, Virginia "Bunnie," sons James and Charles, daughters Louise McLean, Charlotte Nelsen, and Virginia Shea, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. To them all the class extends its deepest sympathy and is saddened at the loss of an affable and friendly classmate.
