Robert Parker Gowing ’52

Parker came to us from Rugby University School. His father, Earl, was in the Class of 1918. He majored in economics, joined Quadrangle, and roomed with Phil Nowland.

Parker earned an MBA at Xavier University in Cincinnati and later (1978) a master’s degree in public health from Tulane.

He married Clover Brodhead of Cincinnati. They both taught in several colleges, Parker teaching courses in computer programming and quantitative business subjects, most recently at Notre Dame.

Parker died Feb. 5, 2012, in Seattle from injuries suffered in an auto accident. The class sends sympathy to Clover at the loss of a congenial and engaging classmate.
