William Bradford Harwood Jr. ’39
Pete died Dec. 26, 1998, in Bath, Maine, at the home of his daughter Phyllis Munro. Over the years Pete and his wife, Sylvia, who died in 1995, were enthusiastic in attendance at our class gatherings, and Pete was often a volunteer in class affairs. He served as Annual Giving agent for our Special 20th Reunion Fund and as reunion chairman from 1950-54.
After his WWII service as a navigator on B17s in the Army Air Corps, Pete began a business career as a marine insurance broker, initially with Johnson & Higgins. Later he joined Frank B. Hall & Co. and remained with them until he retired as senior v.p. of their marine division in 1987.
Besides his daughter Phyllis, Pete leaves two sons, W. B. "Toby" III and Peter. Joining with them in farewell to our old friend, we offer them our sincere sympathy.
