Theodore Burroughs Fryer Jr. ’40

Ted Fryer died Sept. 2, 2000, in Chapel Hill, N.C. He was 83. It had been a long illness; but he was surrounded by his family at the end.

Ted was born in Philadelphia and educated at Episcopal Academy, and at Princeton he earned his AB in geology. During WWII, he served in the Intelligence Division of the U.S. Army's Air Force in North Africa, Italy, and France.

With a lifelong career in oil and gas exploration as a geophysicist, Ted saw himself as a globetrotter. "Most pleasant and rewarding were six years in Paris with field work in the Loire Valley. We were married there, and our two children were born there. Less pleasant were eight years in Libya, where we experienced the Six-Day War and the revolution."

Princeton laid claim once again to Ted in retirement, when the Fryers established their principal residence there, with a second home on Lake Geneva in France. His last few years were spent in the Durham-Chapel Hill area.

To his wife, Mayke Helena Stallaert Fryer; his sister, Emily Fryer Hill; his son, Marc Boudewijn Fryer.; his daughters, Gwendolyn Fryer and Pamela Gray; his

four grandchildren, and one great-grandson, his classmates extend their sincere

condolences.
