Lars A. Hummerhielm ’61

Lars Hummerhielm, president and CEO of the Assn. of Bi-National Chambers of Commerce of South Florida, died Mar. 3, 2000. Born and raised in Sweden, Lars spent only junior year with us as an international exchange student at the Woodrow Wilson School, but, as he wrote in our 25th reunion yearbook, "Thanks to Princeton my life is rich and rewarding." Never associated with a particular class, he asked to join us in 1981 and was so elected.

After 14 years in government service and business in Sweden, Lars moved to Miami in 1975, where he began a multifaceted career in international marketing and trade, founding several corporations and serving the business community in many ways. Among them was the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in Florida, of which he was president, and Scaninvest, Inc., of which he was president and CEO.

He is survived by his wife, Sharon, daughters Lena Hummerhielm and Lotta Siegel, and two grandchildren. We join them in their grief.
