Norman Shethar ’46

He came to Princeton from Rhode Island and graduated magna cum laude and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa in 1948. He received a law degree from Yale Law School in 1951, and at his 15th reunion in 1966, was awarded the Rolling Stone Award for admitting to more jobs than anyone else in the class. In 1982 he started his own investment-advisory business in Manhattan, which he enjoyed thoroughly.

Norm’s steady avocation was choral singing, with service both in the choir stalls and on boards of organizations in Boston, Los Angeles, and New York City. He was also active in the Fortune Society of Long Island City, N.Y., which provides assistance and tutoring to ex-prisoners. In his 50th-yearbook contribution he mentioned that he was becoming a gay activist.

Norm died a bachelor, with a residence in New York City and a summer home in Little Compton, R.I. He is survived by his nieces, Jane McMorrow and Molly Shethar, and sister-in-law Janice Shethar, to whom the class extends its sympathy.
