Noah Twist Herndon ’54

Noah Herndon died Jan. 12, 1999, after bravely fighting cancer the last year of his life. A graduate of Springfield H.S. in Ill., Noah had a lively social life at the Tiger Inn Club while finding the time to letter in varsity football and graduate cum laude.

After Princeton Noah served as an officer in the Army artillery in Europe prior to receiving an MBA with distinction from Harvard Business School. Herndon next joined Brown Bros. Harriman and was partner-in-charge of the Boston office for 20 years.

Noah was active in many charities, foundations, learning institutions, and clubs. He was particularly proud of being a cofounding trustee of the Carroll School, which helped many dyslexic children develop learning skills. At the time of his death Noah was the president of the Country Club in Brookline, which hosted the Ryder Cup this year.

Noah was a very special and talented man who radiated optimism and good feelings to all. He was caring, even tempered, honest, highly intelligent, and great fun.

The class extends its sympathy to Noah's wife of 42 years, Nancy; children Calista '85, Noah Jr., and Mark; and brothers, John '52, Steven, and David.
