Richard S. Porter ’52

Peaches came to us after finishing at Exeter — and later chose to be called “Dick.” He joined Cottage, majored in English, and roomed with his fellow Exeter classmate, Martin Marcovich. He was a referee for club hockey.

After Princeton, he served in the Army as a lieutenant and earned his law degree at the University of Virginia Law School. His 31-year career was spent at Alcan Aluminum Limited in Montreal and Cleveland. He retired as its corporate secretary and moved with his wife, Sara, to Maine in 1988.

Dick died Aug. 24, leaving sons John S., Edwin R., and Samuel J., and brother William Ross Porter. Sara predeceased Dick. To his family, the class extends its good wishes, along with a salute to Dick for his Army service.
