Myron Lafayette Rice ’34

Myron, who spent his working life as a traveler for college textbook publishers, died May 20, 2002. At one time in his career he worked with Bill Oman in the college department of Dodd, Mead & Co. For the past several years he had lived with the second of his three sons and, "on alternate weekends," as he wrote, "his two kids, who keep me flexible."

But advanced arthritis severely limited his activity, "even the woodworking and ship-model building that were formerly my major hobbies." Myron's other interests included sailing-ship history and design, Japanese art, food and wine, languages, history, calligraphy, music, and Victorian architecture.

Myron's wife, Janet Plummer, died in 1983. Surviving are his three sons, Philip, J. Alan, and Robert, and four grandchildren.
