William K. Chapman ’32

Bill died Nov. 2, 2002. His wife had pre-deceased him. Bill prepared at William Penn Charter School. At Princeton he was in the Triangle Club and a member of Cottage Club. He roomed alone freshman year; sophomore year he roomed in Holder with Bob Bessire, junior year in Blair Tower with Charlie Mullery and Jack Iams, and senior year in '79 Hall with Mullery and Rex Irwin.

Bill served in the armed services, retiring with the rank of major. He was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in freight sales and retired after 33 years. While his service with Pennsylvania RR was most enjoyable, its merger with New York Central — after which it became Penn Central — was not. This accounted for his retirement, during which he concentrated on golf.
