Walton George Grayson III ’49

Walt died Dec. 21, 1999, at home. He was 71. He came to Princeton from Highland Park H.S. in Dallas. He majored in economics and was a member of Dial Lodge. He attended our 50th reunion and there are pictures of him in Tigers' Tale, including one of him driving the cart at the head of the 1980-89 contingent, with Bennetta beside him.

After graduation Walt attended Harvard law school and then served in the Navy with the Judge Advocate General. On returning to Dallas, he was a partner in several law firms prior to becoming v.p. and general council of the Southland Corp. After suffering a stroke prior to our 45th reunion, he retired to tend to his cattle farm.

Walt is survived by his wife of 44 years, Bennetta, sons Walton IV, Dwight, Bennett, and Mark, and six grandchildren. The class extends it sincere sympathy to them all.
