Body
Bob, our world-famous swimmer, died Aug. 30, 2022. Son of Alexander H. Brawner 1921, he came from Lawrenceville to join Charter and study chemical engineering. He was captain of the swimming team and roomed with John Hagaman and Bob Wyatt.
His records in the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard breaststroke got nationwide attention in major newspapers.
He went on to military service. We have not heard from him since graduation and are sorry for that.
Survivors include Robert M. Brawner ’96.
