After Lawrenceville, Bob entered Princeton but transferred to Cornell with the Navy V-12 program, where he earned a BS. He was sent to the South Pacific to serve on a patrol boat.

He returned to Princeton for a BA in 1948, earned an MA at the U. of Edinburgh, Scotland, and continued studies at the U. of Virginia. Called back to duty off Korea in 1953, he next was assigned to the CNO office in Washington. He returned to civilian work with Spencer Trask & Co. in NYC, and later with the General American Investors and Tsai Management firms.

Bob set up an investment firm, Investors Securities Services in East Orange, N.J., in 1971, and it occupied him until recently. He was a board member of the Shakespeare Festival at Drew U. and president of the prestigious Saint Andrews Society of New York. He served our class as secretary (1986-91) and v.p. (1991-96). Bob was taking courses in the Master of Letters Program at Drew U. until his final days.

He leaves his wife, Florence, son Robert III, daughters Leigh Saulsbury, Gail Schubert, and Moina Freeston, and nine grandchildren. To them all the class extends its deep sympathy on the loss of our loyal classmate.
