Milton E. D. Labau ’32

Body

We recently learned that Milt LaBau died Aug. 25, 1997. As of our 50th reunion, Milt was living in Bethesda, Md.

Soon after leaving Princeton, Milt became involved with the Merchant Marine and later with the Army Transportation Corp. Eventually, as a civilian, he went into the freight transportation business of the Navy, handling claims and related problems. He retired in 1980.

In 1948 Milt married Helen Bridgetine, who died of cancer in 1967. He later married Alice Briguet. As of 1982 they had no children, and we have no further information regarding his survivors.
