Philip Wesley Hunt ’37

An enthusiastic Princetonian, ever seeking-out classmates, Phil Hunt died Sept. 26, 1997. His first wife, of 43 years, Ann, died in Nov. 1985; three years later he married Jeanne Hubbard (Smith '40), living in Weston and then Brewster, Mass. He also left a daughter, Noel, a son, Jonathan, and two grandsons, Wesley and Joseph.

At Deerfield, Phil participated in Glee Club, school paper board, and yearbook board and played baseball, basketball, and football. He majored in politics at Princeton, joined Cloister Inn, and was president of the Christian Science Organization.

After Harvard and Boston U. Law Schools, Phil practiced with individual lawyers before joining the Army in 1942, rising to captain after service in the Pacific. After again practicing law in Burlington, Vt., he formed a partnership in general law in 1958 with R. W. Eastman. In 1962 he was on the legal staff of the First Church of Christ, Scientist in its world headquarters in Boston, where Ann worked on the Christian Science Monitor. He was back for the 25th reunion "to see who has hair and who hasn't." He was, "there being no local fire department or golf club," on the nominating committee of the Vermont Bar Assn., charter secretary of the Burlington Optimist Club, president of the Chittenden County Bar Assn., Princeton alumni schools representative, and selectman for the town of South Burlington.
