Peter G. Rounds ’51

Body

Pete was born May 26, 1927, the son of Harold E. Rounds, and graduated from Kimball Union Academy in 1945.

He was in the Army from 1945 to 1947, serving in the First Infantry Division and Medical Corps. At Princeton he was an architecture major, business manager of the Nassau Lit, assistant swimming manager, and a member of Whig Clio, the mountaineering and outing clubs, the Triangle stage crew, and Court Club. He roomed with Anson Taylor and Giff Malone.

It has been many years since the class has heard from or about Pete. Our records indicate that for a time he was in practice with another architect, Claud Bokelman, in Walpole, Maine, and that he retired from practice in San Francisco, where he died July 7, 2010, as reported in the Social Security Death Index.
