Body

RIEMAN MCINTOSH died Oct. 28,1990, in Brooklandville, Md., in a tragic auto accident. Katherine Nes, widow of our classmate Charlie Nes, was also killed. Rieman's wife, Mayo, suffered relatively minor injuries.

Rieman was in the large Md. contingent in our Class from Gilman School. He majored in history, played polo, and was a member of Quadrangle Club. He took his law degree in 1933 from the Univ. of Md. He joined the law firm of Ritchie, Janney, Ober & Williams, became a partner in 1947, and retired in 1971. He served with the 111th Field Artillery Battalion during WWII, and took part in the Dday assault. He was awarded several Bronze Stars and the Purple Heart before his discharge in 1946, with the rank of major. He was then active in the Md. Natl. Guard.

He was a vestryman and senior warden of Trinity Episcopal Church in Towson, was a director of several banks, was a member of the society of Cincinnati, and enjoyed fox hunting and other equestrian sports.

He married Elizabeth Mayo Atkinson in June 1950. His sister Virginia married our classmate C. T. Williams, whose sons, Charles T. III '59 and David '71, attended Princeton.

Rieman kept in dose touch with Princeton and his'28 classmates, and was faithfully present at many reunions. His classmates react to his sudden death with sorrow, and with admiration and gratitude for his life and friendship. Their loving sympathy is with Mayo.
