Talbot Curtin ’27

Body

Tal Curtin died on Aug. 16, 1999. Tal, a leader of the Princeton Club of Rochester, N.Y., served there as pres., treas., secy., and director. He hailed from the environs of NYC, where he prepared for Princeton at Brooklyn Polytech. He was a member of Tower Club.

After Princeton, he earned both an MBA and LLB. Tal married Janet McGregor in 1934, and they had two sons. He rose to the presidency of the Keelox Manufacturing Co. of Rochester, manufacturer of carbon paper and inked ribbons, interrupted only by service in the Naval Aviation Service during WWII, from which he retired to the reserves with the rank of lt. commander. Tal retired from Keelox in 1968 and, at the time of our 60th reunion, was living in Sanibel, Fla.

In addition to his two sons, Talbot and William, he leaves four grandchildren and one great-grandchild, to all of whom the class extends its condolences.
