Perry Kimball Sellon ’34

PERRY (PETE) SELLON died April 23, 1990, after a long and persistent illness. He had been associate director of the international staff at U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, consultant to the World Bank and the I.M.F., board member of various charities and educational institutions, and a professional artist.

He studied Japanese and Chinese brush painting in the 1970s, and became so proficient he had shows from Boston to Florida and sold 250 paintings. In 1987 the Hun School, in recognition of his work as a trustee from 19641985, dedicated the Perry K. Sellon information Center at the school. (He himself went to the Hill, but his son graduated from Hun.)

Perry was twice a member of our class executive committee. In 1963 he helped initiate our Award for Outstanding Achievement, first presented at our 30th the following June.

Perry and Louise Eagle, of Bronxville, N.Y., were married in 1941 ("We've danced up a storm ever since"), and she survives, as do their son, Charles H., a daughter, Louise (Kim), and three grandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
