Body

Nick was in our large Lawrenceville contingent, being on the football and track teams. At Princeton he majored in psychology and was a member of the TwoFoot Club and Cottage, rooming all four years with Stoney Stollenwerck. He browsed about Europe on graduation and then took in Penn Law School and started a law career before the Navy got him. He was assigned to the U.S.S. McLanahan, DD 615, and cruised through Atlantic, Mediterranean, and European waters for three campaigns before being discharged a lieutenant and returning to the law, in Ardmore, Penn., with Duryea and Larzelere.

The Class sends its condolences to the family.
