Body

Warren came to the class from Cranbrook School, ate at Dial, and majored in aeronautical engineering. He belonged to the Cranbrook Club and contributed to the Princeton Engineer. His roommates were Bill Trulio, Charles Wagner, and Alan Chauvel.

Warren continued at Princeton in the Graduate School and finished in 1955 with a master’s degree. His career was largely spent at the Mitre Corp. as a department head from 1960 to 1990. An enthusiastic alumnus and long-term member of the class executive committee, he was a regular at Reunions and our mini-reunions with his wife, Priscilla Hildum, widow of our classmate Don Hildum.

Warren died May 17, 2020. He is survived by Priscilla and Ecoee, daughter from his earlier marriage to Rita Maria Pinzon. The Class of 1952 sends its good wishes to them, with thanks to Warren for his service to the class.
