Thomas Marshall Judd ’41
Tom died July 10, 2006, after a brief illness, at his home in Monterey, Calif.
He was a graduate of Principia School in St. Louis. At Princeton, he majored in the School of Public and International Affairs. He was on the fencing team, was a member of Whig-Clio and the Liberal Club, was manager of Student Room Service, and was vice president of Court Club. He roomed with Hugins and McClusky.
Tom won wings in March 1943 and was assigned to the 82nd Fighter Group in Africa, flying P-38s. He was transferred to Italy, and on his 29th mission, was shot down over Bulgaria and became a POW for seven months. Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with five stars and the Purple Heart, he was separated as a captain.
Then entering the Foreign Service, Tom was posted to Bucharest and subsequently served in Germany, Romania, Italy, Greece, Somalia, and South Korea. He retired in 1977.
Tom moved to the Monterey area, where he entered the real estate and property-management business. At the time of our 50th reunion, he was manager of Coldwell Banker’s Monterey office.
Predeceased by his wife, Janet, he is survived by his children and stepchildren, Mary McMurty, Tom Jr., Vicky Lebricker, and Bette and Michael Grace.

1 Month AgoRemembering My Father
Thomas Marshall Judd was my father. He was somewhat withdrawn in social settings so I knew most of his early story through my mother, who was engaged to someone else when my dad proposed. Most of my memories of him involved going to the beach after a hot day (this was in Mogadishu), and later, watching the news on TV together when we got back to Chevy Chase. After my mother passed, he remarried and I was in college, so our lives diverged.
