At our 50th reunion he conducted our Class memorial service at the University Chapel.

His hobbies were playing piano, singing in choral groups, photography, and golf. Besides leaving Princeton life savings gifts, he was proud to have Princeton accept a fine gift now displayed in the Jadwin Gym lobby: a beautiful painted sculpture of a Kashmir tiger, which Roger purchased while in India. It is displayed in front of a 1936 class banner and the record Of'36's 1935 undefeated football team, against which only 32 points were scored.

Survivors include his widow, Margaret Mauger Kellogg, whom he married in 1938; sons Lawrence T. and Michael A.; daughter Mrs. Leslie Lyman; and grandson Jeffrey D. Lyman '94 and four other grandchildren,

We will miss Roger He was an ardent Princetonian and a man of good will.
