Terrill E. Price Jr. ’44

A third-generation officer in the U.S. Cavalry, Terry died Dec. 11, 2006, in San Antonio. His brother is William G. Price '42.

Terry came to us from Phillips Exeter Academy, majored in mathematics, and was active in swimming and track. He left us in 1942, married Polly in 1943, and served eight years in the horse, mechanized, and armored cavalry, earning the Silver and Bronze stars and a Purple Heart in the Pacific campaign and surviving capture by the Japanese.

Discharged as a first lieutenant, he attended the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and wrote to us that he was "the slowest student in '44" when he got his degree in 1961. He followed with an internship in Hawaii and almost 16 years as an Air Force flight surgeon, serving also attached to the Korean Air Force and Air Rescue and Litter-

bug and Flare missions. Retiring as a colonel, he worked for Phillips Petroleum in Texas and built a solar house in his spare time.

Polly survives him. His extended "family" included Texas longhorns, llamas, American bison, horses, and assorted cats and dogs. We all will miss this rare man.
