Rawdon Myers ’36

Rawdon died on Nov. 23, 2001. He was 88.

A graduate of Kent School, at Princeton he majored in psychology and was a member of Cloister Inn. After working for the New Britain [Conn.] Machine Tool Co. for several years, he established his own manufacturer's representative agency in Cincinnati. He retired in 1975 to live in Stuart, Fla.

An avid sailor, Rawdon was also an excellent tennis player, which he had to give up in 1985, when he had a knee replacement.

In Florida he was a volunteer at the Martin Memorial Medical Center and the Elliot Museum. He also was an instructor for the US Power Squadron. Realizing the value of seat belts when piloting his own aircraft, he put seat belts in his own cars before they were offered by automobile manufacturers.

Predeceased by his first wife, Doris, Rawdon is survived by his wife, Mary Louise, four sisters, daughters Jacqueline Vitty, Margaret Paul, and Emily Myers, four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. We salute him for his ability to bring joy to his many friends.
