John E. Matthews Jr. ’61

Body

The class has learned from the Social Security Death Register that John died in 1999. Nothing else is known about his passing, nor—for that matter—is much known about his life after Princeton. While John has been carried on our rolls for many years, he appears also for a time to have been listed as a member of the Class of '60. At our 25th reunion, he was known to be living in Exton, Pa., but beyond that, all is a mystery. Nonetheless, we mourn the passing of a classmate and wish only that we and Princeton had been more a part of his life.
