Warren Hires Turner Jr. ’34

Body

WARREN TURNER DIED Feb. 23, 1991, in Alexandria, Va., where he had lived for ten years. A varied career in banking, business, and insurance led to a degree in classics at Bard College "on the basis," he wrote, "of my bride's efforts as major domo of the college library." The bride was "Bob"(Mildred) Mial, sister of Heinle Mial.

In 1959 Warren was chosen from candidates across the nation as executive V.P. of the national Episcopal Church. The presiding bishop wanted a committed, involved layman with management skills to initiate this important role. 'Warren filled this position with distinction for several years. On leaving the national Church he served Trinity Church, N.Y.C., as head of administration. In the late 1970s, he was proud to be inducted into the order of St John.

Warren is survived by his widow and three brothers, Albert C., Dr. John 11 '40, and Andrew Joyce, and by numerous nieces and nephews To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
