Lee Thompson Stull ’48

Body

Lee Stull died Apr. 20, 1997. He was 73.

A native of St. Davids, Pa., Lee was a graduate of Mt. Hermon Academy and was in the Army Air Force from 1942-45. He graduated in June 1948 with honors in SPIA and was a member of Tiger Inn.

Lee spent most of his career in the State Department's Foreign Service. He described his first 25 years as "the making of a maverick and the unmaking of a diplomat." He and Elizabeth "Betsy" Brooks were married in Sept. 1948. He made good on his promise of "you won't be bored"; they traveled and lived in Europe, South Asia, and Latin America.

In 1979 he earned an MA from Penn but was not in close touch with the class. He and Betsy resided at Paoli, Pa.

The class extends its sympathy to Betsy, sons Owen '75 and Paul, and daughter Suzanne.
