Rosslyn T. Beatty ’29

Rusty died Dec. 15, 2001, of congestive heart failure. He was 96. Rusty prepared for Princeton at Lawrenceville. At Princeton he was on the track squad and a member of Cottage Club. After graduation, he worked for a few years in the family business in Chicago. During WWII, he managed a tin and lithium mine in South Dakota, which operated under Signal Corps contracts.

After the war, he became manager of L. J. McCormick real estate in Chicago. He managed several high-rises and formed partnerships that built office skyscrapers downtown. He headed the Chicago Real Estate Board, the Michigan Boulevard Assn., the Building Managers Assn., and the Realty Club of Chicago. His interest in skiing led him to develop Copper Mountain, which became one of Colorado's premier resorts.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Janet; two daughters, Phoebe McMillan and Daisy Broudy; a son, Ross Jr.; a sister, and seven grandchildren. To all of them, the class extends its deepest sympathy.
