Robert George Austin ’48

Body

Bob Austin died on Dec. 26, 1999, in Stockton, Calif.

He came to us in the V-12 program from the Renton (Washington) H.S., and graduated in 1949. He went on to get his medical degree from the U. of Washington.

He was in private psychiatric practice in Stockton and Washington State for 25 years. He was medical director of the Stockton Development Center for 10 years and a volunteer at St. Mary's Interfaith Medical Clinic for a number of years. He was a lt.-col. in the US Army Medical Corps Reserve until 1984.

To his widow, Theresa, sons Bob and Paul, daughters Cathryn, Janyce, and Ruth, the class extends its deepest sympathy. Bob was always a loyal Princetonian.
