Richard B. Lyman ’60

Rick prepared for Princeton at Pembroke Country Day School. At Princeton, he majored in biology, joined Charter Club, and was active in Orange Key, Chapel Choir, the Inter Club Council, St. Paul’s Society, the Outing Club, and the Pre-Med Society.

After graduation, Rick moved to Albany Medical College in New York, where he worked in medical research for several years then earned a medical degree in 1970. In our 1970 reunion yearbook he expressed an intention to go into some surgical specialty and to include in his future a seacoast farm, a place to raise children and old English sheepdogs.

We lost contact with Rick after that, but believe he largely accomplished those goals: He seems to have moved to the Seattle-Tacoma area on Puget Sound, Wash., practiced medicine there and settled into the historical coastal town of Steilacoom on the banks of the sound with plenty of room for children and dogs.

Rick died March 20, 2024. He married twice. We were unable to learn any other particulars of his family or his professional and retirement pursuits.
