V. I. Wexner ’63

Body

V. I. Wexner, a high school teacher in Redding, Calif., died July 1, 1993. He was chairman of the English department at Shasta H.S. He wrote at the time of our 25th reunion that he loved the rural lifestyle in Redding. He took great pleasure in endurance running, gardening, landscaping, folk guitar, and songwriting.

Born in NYC, V. I. went to an experimental high school in Greenwich Village. At Princeton he wrote a novel for his thesis, belonged to the Wilson Society, was on the editorial board of the Nassau Lit, and the academic committee of the Undergraduate Council. He held the Little Prize Scholarship for a senior in the humanities. He roomed with Jerry Missel.

The class sends its sympathy to his wife, Dr. Melicent Whinston '77, son Sage, and daughter Reo.
