Marshall G. Metzger ’60

Marsh came to Princeton via Cleveland Heights (Ohio) High School. At Princeton, he joined Elm and majored in aeronautical engineering. He left school in 1958 and went to work for North American Aviation. After more than two years away, Marsh returned to earn his degree in 1962, retaining his ’60 affiliation.

Marsh worked for several aeronautical firms, designing Navy jets, working on the Apollo Space Program, and studying part time at MIT. In 1967 he earned an MBA from Harvard. He then worked successively in engineering consulting and senior corporate positions until 2000. Partially retiring, Marsh became an adjunct professor of engineering in the Manhattanville College graduate school for 10 years.

Throughout, he traveled with his two sons through Scouting with their Redding Troop. They, wife Janet, and daughter Laura camped and hiked in many Western U.S. national parks and through the trails and mountains of the Eastern states. He and Janet particularly loved their German shepherds — breeding, training, and competing them in obedience, tracking, and agility events. The lucky parents saw all three children through Princeton: Greig ’82, Andrew ’90, and Laura ’93.

Marsh died Sept. 7, 2019, of complications of Alzheimer’s disease. Our sympathies go to all the family.
