Peter A. Salm ’50

PETER SALM DIED Mar. 12, 1994, at the Mount Sinai Hospital in N.Y.C. after a long struggle with viral hepatitis. Born in N.Y.C., he spent most of his youth in St. Anton, Austria. He was the son of Millicent Rogers and Davis Cup tennis champion Count Ludwig von Salm-Hoogstraeten of Austria.
