Leopold Edward Thron ’29

Leo died in Sept. 1992. At Princeton he was in the University Orchestra and then concertmaster of that body. In 1929 he married Laura Beach. They had three sons, Christopher Dennis, John Edward '54, and Thomas Dolbear. In 1933 he graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons and specialized in obstetrics-gynecology. He built a practice in Paterson, N.J. He spent three years in the Medical Corps, rising to captain during WWII. During this service in the European theater, he won the Bronze Star and three battle stars.

The Throns had six grandchildren. Alumni Records lost touch with him, hence the belated memorial. To all of his survivors, the class sends its sympathy and apologizes for the lateness in doing so.
