Oswald A. Friend ’52

Wally died suddenly Feb. 29, 2004, in Palm Desert, Calif. He had just been diagnosed with leukemia and had begun chemotherapy. He was 73.

Wally came to Princeton from Woodmere Academy on Long Island, along with Roger Berlind, his roommate all four years. He majored in psychology and was a member of Tower Club. After graduation Wally served in the Army and was discharged as a first lieutenant. He worked briefly on Wall Street before moving to Minneapolis in 1955. He owned a variety of small businesses in Minnesota over the next 40 years.

Wally's passions were golf and fishing, and for many years he spent winters on the links in Palm Desert and summers on the waters of Puget Sound. His memorial service in Palm Desert was attended by many classmates, including Berlind, Christensen, Dosdall, Gardner, Lowry, Master, and Mueller.

Wally was predeceased by his first wife, Donna, and son Richard. He is survived by his son, Stephen, stepchildren Joel Ljungkull and Sara Wrankle, and his wife, Tamara. To them, the class extends its deepest sympathy.
