Michael Ernest Jenkins Jr. ’41

Body

A native of Maryland, he graduated in 1937 from the Canterbury School in New Milford, Conn. He left Princeton after his freshman year and attended the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

Unfortunately, he did not keep in touch with Princeton after leaving, but we now know that he spent his entire business career with Black & Decker in Towson, Md., retiring in the late 1970s.

Ern’s avocation was gardening at his Towson home.

He is survived by his sister, Clare Lambert; his brother, Manley; and several nieces and nephews.
