MARK DIED Feb. 6, 1992, in Hobe Sound, Fla., after a long illness. He came to Princeton by way of the Lawrenceville School and Hurt School. He served in the Army Air Force during WWII. After Princeton, Mark spent 14 years in the oil business in Louisiana, followed by eight years with Citibank in New York. He then worked as an investment adviser on Wall Street, before moving to Florida, in 1982, where he represented a number of national companies. He retired in 1988.

Mark was president of the Leash Club in N.Y.C., for seven years, a member and former president of the Nassau Gun Club in Princeton, and a member of the JUPECr Island Club and the Blooming Grove Hunting and Fishing Club. He was also on the board of the Loxahiitchee Historical Society. At Princeton, he was a member of Tiger Inn arid played varsity hockey as a freshman. Needless to say, he was most proud of that accomplishment. He was an outstanding athlete an enjoyed a wide variety of sports.

The Class may remember that Mark and his gracious wife, Trish, hosted the dinner dances for the Class, for our 25th and 30th reunions, at their beautiful home in Hopewell.

During his illness, Mark fought a long and hard battle, always with good humor and a smile. He was looking forward to our 45th, although deep down he must have realized he wasn't going to make it. In addition to Trish, he is survived by their children, Ann Bailey, John, Mark, and Mary Munn, and William McKelvy; a brother John R. Jr. '38; and a sister, Marjorie Knapp. Mark was a good friend to all who knew him and was one of the most Popular members of Our Class. To his family, we offer our sincerest sympathies.
