Kent V. Mina ’58

Kent died Feb. 24, 2017, at his home in Pawleys Island, S.C.

He came to us from Ridgewood (N.J.) High School in New Jersey. At Princeton Kent majored in electrical engineering and was a member of Elm Club. Sports occupied much of his spare time, as he was manager of fall and winter track. During his senior year he roomed with Bob Givey and Bob Graham.

After graduation Kent joined Bell Labs and spent his entire business career there in research and development. He and his family spent their summers in Vermont in a house he and Peter Erlandsen, formerly of our class but officially of 1960, built in 1964. After retiring in 1996, he enjoyed golf, playing competitive bridge, and fixing and maintaining homes and cars for family, friends, and neighbors.

The class extends its sincere condolences to Carol, his wife of 53 years; his son, Brad, and his wife, Jill; his daughter, Jana Schulson, and her husband, Nick; and his four grandchildren, Garrett, Eleanor, Caroline, and Griffith.
