Raymond H. Carter ’33

Ray Carter, one of our former class presidents, died Oct. 26, 1994, of a heart attack. He prepared at St. Albans School. At Princeton, he was on the lacrosse team, the University orchestra, the St. Paul's Society, and was president of Court Club. He roomed with Bill Galliher and Hank Thompson.

He worked for one year after graduation with the War Dept. in Washington, and until retirement, he worked for the plastics-products division of DuPont.

From 1971-88, he served as our class agent for Annual Giving and most of us remember his personal letters. During that time, he raised $2.5 million, including record amounts at our 50th reunion, in 1983. His father was in the Class of 1899. His son, Beau, was in the Class of '65, and his grandson, John, is in the Class of '96.

In 1936, he married Katharine Gribbel, who died in 1977. They had four children; Sally Crawford, Betsy Bannerman, Susan Avanzino, and Raymond H. Carter II (Beau). After Kitty's death, he married Nancy Harwood, who survives him.
