Luis Almeida De Prado ’52

Last spring, we received the following letter from Luis Prado's son Fernando:

"For the last few years, my father has been receiving material from Princeton. I would like to communicate that he died June 3, 1994, in a car accident.

"At the time of his death, he was working on his farm, where he raised cattle, pigs, poultry, and horses. He used a new kind of technology here in Brazil that consists of integrating all those animals. He was very proud of his work.

"It would be nice to let his classmates know what happened to him, how his life was for the last few years, and that he was proud to be a Princeton graduate.

"He is survived by his wife, Maria Stella, four sons, Luis, Fernando, Marina, and Roberto, six grandchildren, and his brother Sergio '52."

Luis graduated from Blair Academy and at Princeton majored in politics and belonged to Cap and Gown. During his first two years, he was on the swimming and soccer teams. Luis left Princeton in 1951 to help manage the family coffee plantation in the outback of Sao Paulo state. He had a tour in financial management with his father-in-law's enterprises before returning to his family's agricultural interests.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Luis's family.
