Sanford C. Reynolds ’51

Body

Sandy died of heart failure in Dallas, Tex., Nov. 1, 1995, and so went one of the class's and university's stalwarts. In addition to being '51's class secretary from 1956-61, he had been on the Alumni Council's executive committee, a trustee of Princeton in Asia, and chairman of PAW's board of editorial direction from 1960-69.

Sandy loved kids and local politics. He devoted hours in Princeton to Midget League football, teaching youngsters the game's fundamentals and sportsmanship. As vice-chairman of the Princeton joint recreation board, he suddenly found himself in 1969 the lame duck (Republican) member of the Princeton township committee.

He was a marketing expert, first at Gallup and Robinson in Princeton, then as a v.p. at Young & Rubicam advertising in NYC. He moved to Y&R's Denver office in 1975, retired and went to live in Jacksonville, where he bought a restaurant supply business.

Sandy came to Princeton from the Darrow School. At Old Nassau he majored in psychology, was a member of Charter Club, and roomed with Dick Cruess and Buddy Hoyt.

The class extends its deepest condolences to Sandy's wife, June, and to his sons, George and James, and five grandchildren.
