Tallman Bissell ’41

Tallman died Dec. 30, 1999. He was a widower.

After graduation from Hotchkiss, he majored in the division of humanities at Princeton. He was Cannon Club's interclub bowling champion, was active in both Intime and Triangle, and was commissioner of academic affairs. Among his roommates were Bill Carnahan, Bill Pettit, Dick Gordon, Shef Hawksey, Ted Buenger, and Hugh Bell.

He graduated from Harvard law school in 1948, then became a partner in several law firms-one of them in London-until he retired in 1988. His hobbies were reading, music, and travel.

Tallman is survived by son John, daughters Katherine Maloney and Galey Sergio-Castelverte. There are three grandchildren. It would be difficult to find a sharper man in both legal and lay matters.
