Ross Frazer Wall ’29

Bud died Feb. 3, 1999, in Peoria, Ariz., where he had lived for some years. He prepared for college at Wyoming Seminary in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. At Princeton he belonged to Arbor Inn, and his roommates were Fred Lind, Date Smith, and Blair Birdsall. Bud left Princeton in our junior year, returned a year later and graduated with the Class of '30, yet he continued to regard himself as a '29er.

After working as a customer's man and cashier, Bud went with the Rochester Products division of General Motors, where he stayed until retirement. Bud's military career was striking -- as a gunner on a B-17 he flew 35 combat missions and was wounded on one of them. Besides a Purple Heart, Bud received an Air Medal and Distinguished Flying Cross. In 1943 he married Auta Lyman, and she is his sole survivor. The class extends its sincere sympathy to Auta.
