Norton Onayne R Schonfeld ’35

Nort died in Silver Spring, Md., July 17, 2002.

He spent his freshman year of college at Notre Dame, then transferred to Princeton, where he majored in politics and played JV football. Post-graduation posed his first big challenge. "It took a letter of introduction from Major Bowes, then King of Radio, to get me my first job as a page at NBC in New York," he said.

Thereafter, he worked as a sportswriter, bookkeeper, car salesman, and junior accountant before training as a special agent for the FBI. That took him to San Francisco, Chicago, New Haven, and Washington, D.C., where he was put in charge of civil investigations. When the Air Force became a separate department in the Department of Defense, Nort was named its chief of procurement investigations. He retired from government service in 1969, and until 1974 was coordinator of the Criminal Justice Program at Maryland's Montgomery College.

His first wife, Ann DelaCave, died in 1982. The next year he married Jean Hartman who, with her late husband, had been Nort and Ann's best friends for 30 years. Nort and "Bonnie" Jean summered in Bethesda, Md., wintered in Jensen Beach, Fla., and joined '35 in many Florida and Princeton reunions. She survived him as did his son Norton Jr., stepchildren Paul and Sandra Hartman, a sister, and two grandchildren.
