John T. Badham Jr. ’57
John died Apr. 28, 1996, of lung cancer. At Princeton he majored in history and was a member of Cottage Club. His chief undergraduate activity was 150-lb. crew, which he enjoyed greatly.
After graduating John did ROTC duty in the Army Air Force in Germany. Upon finished his two-year stint, he began architecture school at UC-Berkeley, where he studied for two and a half years.
He left graduate school for the Bank of California's investment division, where he worked for seven years finally resigning to pursue his personal investments in real estate.
John remained single all his life. He lived in Marin County, Calif., where his special interest was his garden and his friends. He lived a private life by choice, and we remember him as a good classmate. He always loved Princeton.
To his sister, Pauline, the class expresses its sincere condolences.
