John McHenry Schuler ’49 *52

JOHN SCHULER passed away at his home in Issaquah, Wash., June 23, 1990, a victim of heart disease.

John was born may 5, 1928 in Teheran, Iran, the son of a foreign missionary. He prepared for Princeton at the Hill School. At Princeton he majored in aeronautical engineering, was on the J.V. wrestling team, and worked for the Student Express Agency, and was a member of Key and Seal Club and the Princeton Flying Club.

Graduate work in aeronautical engineering at Princeton earnedJohn his master's in 1952, and he then joined the aerodynamics department of Douglas Aircraft in Los Angeles. He had married the former Imogene Leeds in 1948, and over time they had seven children. John moved on to become head of flight dynamics at Cornell Aeronautical laboratory in Buffalo, N.Y. His first marriage having ended in divorce, John returned to the West Coast in the mid1960s and became principal engineer for the Boeing Military Airplane Co.

In Sept. 1988 John married the former Nina Tolin, and they lived happily in Issaquah until his death. He had for years been an avid skier, and while his illness denied him that, he continued to enjoy his hobby of model railroads. Besides his widow, Nina, John is survived by his seven childrendaughters Dorothy, Karen, Eleanor, and Meredith Schuler, and Allison Latham; sons Lawrence and John Jr.; and six grandchildren. To all of them we extend our deepest sympathy.
