Robert Lethbridge Foshay ’34
BOB FOSHAY, who in spite of declining health attended regularly our N.Y.C. Class lunches, usually with his wife, Maxine, died Apr. 20, 1993. He and Maxine had attended the lunch three weeks earlier, notwithstanding the awful weather.
Most of Bob's working life was in selling advertising space for such magazines as ESQUIRE, PARENTS, POPULAR SCIENCE, and LIVING FOR YOUNG HOMEMAKERS. At one time, he was with an ad agency on Madison Ave.; later he was V. P. of an outdoor advertising firm.
Bob married Maxine Shottland, "a lovely English lady" and a 1940 graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, in London, in 1956. "My career," he wrote not long ago, "was satisfying, and my marriage is happy."
Besides Maxine, survivors include two sons by a former marriage, Robert L. Jr. and Steve, to whom we offer our sincere sympathies. Bob's brother Addison Y. Jr. '39 died in 1972.
