Robert K. Pearce ’50

Body

Bob died Aug. 1, 2008.  

Bob graduated from Glen Ridge   (N.J.) High School. At Princeton, he was in Theatre Intime and majored in history. For the next 10 years after graduation, his pursuits were varied, to say the least. He managed a   motion-picture theater, served a tour in the Army in Korea, returned to the theater business, worked as a cost researcher at Prudential Insurance, wrote freelance articles, and inspired by his hobby, sold magic equipment in a New York City store.  

Thereafter, his trail is blank except that he was married and divorced, and lived in Wayne, N.J., for many years prior to his death.
