Nathaniel P. Gardner Jr. ’32

Body

NATHANIEL "BUZZ" GARDNER died Oct. 6, 1994, after a long illness. He lived in Menlo Park, Calif. Though a member of the class, he did not graduate with us, but got his undergraduate degree from Wesleyan instead. At the time of our 25th, he was a production manager of insurance and surety bonds with Fireman's Fund Insurance Group in San Francisco. He was also a former v.p. of Natl. Surity Corp. of New York and was later a corporate bond specialist in San Mateo.

He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Dorothy T.; two daughters, Linda Jeans and Susan Turner; and five grandchildren. The class extends its sympathy to all of them.
