Robert G. Clark ’38

One of our best-liked classmates, Robert "Maxie" Clark, died of cancer Mar. 5, 1995, in the hospice of Anne Arundel Medical Cener in Annapolis. His last of many trips to Princeton was to attend the 1994 Colgate football game with his daughter Molly and son-in-law Tim Connolly (Colgate '71).

Maxie majored in politics, earned his lieutenant's bars in R.O.T.C., and was on the freshman football and baseball teams. He was asst. manager of baseball and a member of the Catholic Club.

After working for Ford, Macy's and New York Central, he joined the Army in 1941, served on the West Coast and became a major. Upon discharge, he joined Union Carbide in its traffic department in N.Y.C. and lived in Tarrytown, N.Y., where he was active in politics and Rotary Club. For Princeton, he was on the local Schools Committee. He served the class on the executive committee, and attended many reunions and meetings. He maintained his Army Reserve status until 1969, retiring as a colonel.

Maxie moved to Annapolis in 1989 and continued his civic interests there. He was a mainstay in the tennis dub, playing until his final illness. He was a devoted family man and devout churchman and respected by all who knew him.

Maxie married Margery Keville in 1947. She sur­vives, as do daughters Molly Connolly and Cathe­rine Clark Woodland. We send them our heartfelt condolences.
