Morris Twining Weeks Jr. ’34

Body

MOOSE WEEKS, a former magazine editor and freelance I writer who compiled and edited each of our class yearbooks and directories for the past 30 years and reported for this magazine each of our major reunions since 1954, died July 22, three days after his 80th birthday.

Moose was an editor of LOOK and PARADE magazines in the 1940s and 1950s. In 1964 after three years of work, he compiled the massive COMPLETE

BOATING ENCYCLOPEDIA. He wrote a series of educational books about countries in the Western Hemisphere and articles on travel and other subjects for

the NEW YORK TIMES and other publications, including the PAW. An accomplished piano player, he was a key member of the '34 Retreads jazz band, which played at our 25th and other reunions. In 1986, during our Williamsburg mini, he helped establish the Special Assistance Fund (SAF) with Jack Palmer and Doug Hahn. Surviving are Moose's wife of 54 years, Antoinette (Tony) Sartori Weeks (Wellesley '36); three daughters; and five grandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
