L. Page Brown ’40

Body

Page died Sept. 11, 2001, in Summerland, Fl. He prepared for Princeton at Haverford, leaving the Class of '40 during his freshman year. He married Margaret Rulon in 1939. He was a lieutenant in the Navy, serving from 1941-45 in the Pacific theater and along the Atlantic coast. He later served in the Navy reserve.

Page was president of Anderson and Brown, followed by other positions in investment counseling and insurance. He was a devoted sportsman, salmon fishing at his camp in New Brunswick and hunting in Africa.

Page was active in the Philadelphia community: Phila. Club, Orpheus Club, the Phila. Working Home, Phila. Assn. for the Blind, and the Zoological Society. Our class 25th yearbook quotes Page as "thoroughly enjoying my work, my wife and three daughters and a good life." To his daughters, Marechal and Caroline Constant *76, we extend our sincere sympathies.
