Revett Bradley Wallace ’46
Rev Wallace died in his Woodside, Calif., home on Oct. 12, 1995, of a heart attack. Rev grew up in California and attended the Thacher School. Rev joined the Marine Corps as a pilot of Corsaires in Nov. 1942, and when the war ended he returned to Princeton in 1946 but later transferred to Stanford, where he graduated in 1949.
Rev joined the Hearst Advertising Service, becoming by 1960 the v.p. and San Francisco manager of Million Market Newspapers. An active civic leader in the Bay Area, Rev was a member of the board of trustees of the Thacher School and the Castilleja School in Palo Alto. He also chaired the board of trustees of Filoli, a property of the Natl. Trust for Historic Preservation in Woodside, Calif.
Rev is survived by his wife, Kay; four daughters, Vandy O'Reilly, Derry MacBride, Betsy Dixon, who is married to Don Dixon '69, and Sarah Wallace, who lives in NYC and works for ABCNews; and eight grandchildren.
Although Rev transferred to Stanford in 1946 after he married, he never lost his interest in Princeton and never regretted his time at Old Nassau. To Kay and to all Rev's family, we send our deep sympathy and remember with affection our loyal classmate.
