Richard Bartlett Park ’30

Dick died June 1, 2004, according to his son, Richard H. Park '64. He was 95.

Dick came to us from Mercersburg Academy. He roomed all four years with Stanley Garber in 1901 Hall. He was a member of the pistol and rifle teams, lettering in each, and a member of Key and Seal.

After graduation Dick earned an engineering degree from MIT and from 1936-45 was project manager at Hamilton Standard Propellers, where he was instrumental in developing the first successful aircraft anti-icing system and aluminum propeller blades so important for the war effort. From the end of World War II until 1965, he was chief engineer at the Fuller Brush Co. in charge of developing new products.

Dick is survived by his wife of 65 years, Maylah Hallock Park, five children, nine grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. The class extends its sympathy.
