John Howard Moulton Jr. ’23

JOHN, WHO WAS BORN Sept. 13, 1900, departed our troubled world Oct. 31, 1990, at Nokomis, Fla., where he had been spending his winters. Our Class directory lists golf, fishing, and sailing as his special interests.

Our 1923 Ten Year Book listed his connections with a number of business projects, but his prime interest was in travel and adventure. John spent four months on a private schooner sailing on the West Coast of Mexico. He made two trips to China, and spent a half a year hunting and fishing at his summer cottage in Ontario, Canada. His greatest adventure came while on board the last American square rigger, TISTALA. On a trip from Honolulu to N.Y. the ship became becalmed in the doldums for 30 days. From N.Y. John went to Paris. In France he secured a motorcycle for a jaunt through Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain. He returned to Honolulu via the Dutch East Indies and the orient on a Japanese freighter. He worked with Union Oil Co. in both Honolulu and Japan for several years. lie was not well the last years of his life. He is survived by his widow, Marguerite. His late brother Everts was a member of the class of 1921.
