Kenneth M. Mitchell ’49 *51
Ken died Feb. 10, 2003; he was 76. He prepared for Princeton at Westfield [N.J.] HS and while at Princeton majored in architecture. He continued on at Princeton for a master's in the same field. During WWII he served in the Army Air Corps. He was a member of Triangle Club, the Princeton Tigers Dance Band, and of Quadrangle Club.
For a number of years after graduation, Ken worked in a large architectural firm in NYC on large projects until he decided to open a small practice in Red Bank, N.J. This gave him the time he wanted to continue his hobby of painting and exhibiting his work. He and his wife, Jean, who predeceased him, enjoyed sailing and boating together at the Jersey shore and in Florida.
Ken is survived by two sisters, Mary L. Bickett and Sally Ann Peterson. The class extends to them its deepest sympathy.
