Lawrence M. Austin ’52

Larry came to us from Episcopal Academy in Philadelphia to study politics and eat at Cottage. He played 150-pound football and roomed with Ben Moore, Dick Donley, and Phil Porter.

He had Navy service as an officer on a destroyer from 1952-54. His career involved work as a stockbroker and investment adviser in Savannah, Ga. (his wife Dede’s hometown) for the firm of Johnson, Lane, Space, Smith and Co. and successors, finally Wells Fargo, from which he retired as vice president in 1999.

Larry died Dec. 1, 2023. He is survived by his children, Lawrence Jr., Elizabeth, and James. The class offers its best to them and thanks for Larry’s Navy service.
