Thad came to us from Southwest High School in Kansas City, Mo. He attended Princeton between 1958 and 1960 and 1962 and 1963 but graduated from another college. He majored in history and joined Elm before leaving Princeton. Other activities included photography and work on campus publications.
Thad earned a law degree from Washington and Lee University and was a member of the Virginia Bar Association, registered as a lawyer in Richmond. As a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard, he was the site commander of Camp Pendleton, a training facility for the Marines and Virginia National Guard. After retiring from the service he managed the billeting office there. He married in 1986 but divorced 11 years later. Thad served as the clerk of the Juvenile Court in Henrico County, Va.
He did not maintain contact with Princeton, although he submitted some brief comments to our 25th-reunion book.
The class extends its condolences to his former wife, Linda Etheridge; his daughters, Laura and Elizabeth; his sister, Marjorie; and his brother, Larry.
