William Gould Jones ’38
Gould died peacefully at San Rafael, Calif., May 3, 2003.
He came to Princeton from St. Alban's School and majored in history. He was a member of the yacht club all four years, becoming fleet captain as a senior. An oarsman on the 150-lb. crew, he later became its manager and a member of the managers' club. He was also on the interclub tennis and squash teams, and a member of Tiger Inn. Throughout his life, he competed enthusiastically as a glider pilot, sailor, and golfer, and was domino champion of two social clubs.
Professionally, Gould was president of Pandick Press, a publisher of corporate reports, and associated with McKinsey, the management consulting corporation.
In WWII he attained the rank of colonel, serving as a general's aide in France and Egypt, where he had drinks with King Farouk, hit golf balls off a pyramid, and was awarded the Order of the British Empire. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Gould is survived by his wife, Carol; his son, Gould Creighton Jones; his daughter, Lindsey Lowe; his former wife, Joan Hughson; and four grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends its sympathy.
