Richard Clayton Myers ’45

Dick Myers died Sept. 24, 2006.

Dick entered Princeton in the footsteps of his father, Paul Myers ’13, and his brothers, Robert ’41 and John ’44. He prepared for Princeton at St. Albans School in Washing-

ton, D.C. He joined Cloister Inn and played freshman lacrosse before leaving for the Navy V-12 program.

Dick earned a medical degree from George Washington University in 1947 and had a long and successful career in medicine. In 1949 he married Anne Gueydan of Switzerland, whom he met while obtaining a doctorate in pathology at the University of Zurich. Dick served in the Air Force as chief of surgery at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida, and then went into private practice in Bethesda in 1956.

Dick and Anne divorced, and he married Barbara Spangler. Dick noted in his final submission that he and Barbara were happily completing 25 years of marriage in retirement on the Chesapeake Bay, with a dock and boat at the end of the yard and a golf course over their fence.

To Barbara; their daughters, Erica and Elisabeth; Dick’s children from his first marriage, Heidi, Christine, Claire, and James; and 12 grandchildren, the class extends its deep sympathy.
