Reg died July 9, 2006.

He entered Princeton from South Pasadena (Calif.) High School and joined Charter Club. Reg was active in Theatre Intime, sang with Triangle Club, and was president of the Outing Club. He served as an aviation cadet in the Navy, and then earned his degree in economics and mechanical engineering from Princeton in 1947.

Reg returned to California to work for Richfield Oil Co. He met and married Christine Burkdoll in 1952 and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where they raised two daughters, Gail and Jill. Reg worked for Berkeley Radiation Lab and Cyclotron Corp. and continued to enjoy all outdoor sports, especially hiking, scuba diving, and skiing. In his retirement he worked as a financial planner.

Reg is survived by Christine, Gail, Jill, and six grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends its sympathy.
