William B. T. Carnahan ’41
Body
Bill died Oct. 9, 1998, in Milan. His widow, Elspeth Durie Carnahan, survives.
When we last heard from Bill, he reported that he was happily working with his wife on a book about early Christian art-"largely mosaic." Bill had an active career in journalism and public relations. He ran his own firm in Milan for many years.
Bill went to St. George's and majored in modern languages at Princeton, taking a one year sabbatical to travel in Mexico. His roommate was Tallman Bissell.
Other than Elspeth, his only survivor is daughter Merit. We wish we had known this talented man better.
