John Cameron Beck ’48
CAMERON BECK died Dec. 30, 1991, in Guatemala City, Guatemala. He had been in failing health for the last several years.
Cameron came to us by way of Texas Country Day School in Dallas and Woodberry Forest. At the end of freshman year he joined the American Field Services and was at Secunderabad, India, at war's end. After a tour of India and the Middle East, he returned to Princeton to graduate with honors in history.
For a while Cameron wrote book reviews for the DALLA MORNING NEWS (founded by his great uncle, A. H. Belo) and for the DALLAS TIMES HERALD.
Cameron traveled extensively, living in England, Chicago, Paris, Rome, Venice, Dallas, Mexico City, Taos, Huehuetenago, southern Mexico, and finally in Antigua, Guatemala. He spent some time in Pama, Tex., with his brother and sisterinlaw, Curt and Wil, who survive him. To them the Class extends its deepest sympathy.
