Laurence Edgar Sherwood ’37

Busy extracurricular operator and lawyer Larry Sherwood died Apr. 10, 1997. Bunnie, his wife of nearly 55 years, survives him, as do daughters Carolyn and Susan and four grandchildren. Larry wrote about our 35th, "what it really means is the opportunity to renew and perhaps revitalize friendships which started in a common environment many years ago . . . for a short time, one can get away from the daily grind and swap stories and lies with a group of kindred souls and generally relax in a spirit of friendship and well being."

Larry came to Princeton from Westminister. He majored in politics at Princeton, where he was golf manager, advertising manager of the Tiger, business manager of Theatre Intime, and a member of Cannon.

After Yale Law School, Larry spent two years in a New York law factory before serving as an attorney with the War Shipping Administration. He then served in the Army as a private; at the end of three years he was a 1st lieutenant in the Transportation Corps at New York Port of Embarkation. He then went with the Maritime Commission in Washington before becoming a corporate attorney. Over the years he worked for a number of companies in responsible positions. He retired in 1979. In 1989 he moved to California from Old Greenwich, Conn.
