DICK VOGT DIED Nov. 22, 1993, at his home in Stuart, Fla., at the age of 87. He was a native of Buffalo, but had lived in Stuart for 20 years.

In WWII, Dick served in the navy and was a It. commander when he retired. Later he was employed in the Brookhaven Laboratories in Upton, N.Y., from which he retired in 1971.

Dick prepared for Princeton at Hutchinson H.S. and Nichols Prep in Buffalo, where he was active in sports. He was a member of varsity teams in three sports at Princeton: baseball, basketball, and football. In addition, he was manager of Campus Club.

His wife predeceased him. His brother, Herbert G., was in the Class of '25. He leaves a nephew, Alan Vogt, and a niece, Judy Thresher. To each of them, the class extends its sympathy.
