MALCOLM DIED suddenly on Apr. 27, 1990, of a heart attack. He was 57 and in apparent excellent health, having completed 56 100-mile bicycle rides in the prior year. in addition to his love of family, friends, and bicycling, he had continued to pursue lifelong interests in squash, tennis, music, photography, and other arts. He was bright, charming, able, talented, and many-faceted.

"Mae," as he was known to many of us, was born on June 22, 1933, in Houston, where he attended St. John's Academy, until coming to Baltimore for senior year at Gilman. At Princeton, he joined Cap and Gown, majored in history, and spent junior year at the Sorbonne.

After graduation, Mac spent two years in the Army in SHAPE headquarters, writing pr6cis from the French papers for the U.S. commanding general. In 1959, he married Robin Hunt, and, in 1961, received his degree from South Texas College of Law, and went to Schlumberger Ind., living in N.Y. and Paris. He eventually became chief counsel. In 1974, he retired to Houston, where he became V.P. of the de Mend Foundation.

Malcolm was a member of the Civil War Roundtable, Texas Philosophic Society, Briar Oub, Religious Society of Friends, and the Houston Bicycle Club.

He is survived by his widow, Robin; sons Malcolm III, Angus, and Wilmer; brother, Douglas; and sister, Ellen Martin. We extend to them our deepest sympathy.
