Mark Tucker Robbins ’39

Mark died Nov. 2, 1998, in Westlake Village, Calif. Born in Pittsfield, Mass., Mark entered Princeton from the Hun School. He majored in French civilization and was a member of Cannon Club.

Mark enlisted in the Navy Air Corps and spent six years flying in the Pacific theater. After his discharge in 1945 he joined United Airlines and made his home in California. He loved it there. In fact, his last communique to us was, "I'll never leave California." Travel and sports were his most satisfying activities. In our 50th book he wrote that in retirement he was enjoying golf, horse races, and family. That family was his wife, Betty (Martha McCollum); their son, Mark T. Jr., who is also a UAL pilot; their daughter, Patrice; and a grandson, Casey. We offer them our sincere sympathy.
