Leon Abbett Doughty ’34

Leon, an examiner, investigator, adjudicator, and attorney with the Civil Service Commission in DC for 30 years and a longtime resident of Fairfax County, Va., where he was active in civic and religious organizations, died Mar. 12, 2004. He purchased a winter home in Palm Bay, Fla., in 1974 and became a permanent resident there in 1981.

During WW II, Leon saw service in New Guinea and the Philippines. His duties, he wrote, "ranged from rifleman to chaplain's assistant." He held life memberships in the 6th Armored Division Assn. and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He also belonged to Princeton clubs in New Jersey, DC, and Florida, and to the American Federation of Government Employees, American Legion, and the National Assn. of Retired Federal Employees.

Leon is survived by eight nephews and nieces, including Edward R. Doughty II '62. They have our sincere condolences.
