Lindley Welsh Tiers ’34 *35

Lin Tiers, a nationally ranked tennis player in the late 1930s and a former executive in the overseas division of Citibank, died July 29, 1998, a few days before his 87th birthday. He was the husband of Sarah "Sally" Morgan Gardner Tiers, whom he married in Singapore in 1957 and who died in 1996.

Lin joined what was then called First Natl. City Bank of N.Y. in 1946, and in subsequent years his posts included Shanghai, Manila, Calcutta, and Singapore. He traveled extensively in southeastern Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Burma) until his tour ended in the 1960s, and he returned to the NYC office.

He and Sally moved to Princeton in 1969 and started spending winters in Vero Beach, Fla., in the early 1980s. In 1992 they moved permanently into a lifecare community in Vero, "trying," as Lin wrote, "to deal with the vagaries of advancing years."
