William Keller Cooper ’52

Bill graduated from Capital Page High School after serving as a page in the U.S. House of Representatives. He did a postgraduate year at Loomis before joining us. At Princeton he majored at SPIA and joined Campus Club. He was recreation director and worship commissioner in the Wesley Foundation. He sang in the Glee Club, belonged to the Liberal Union, led the staffs of the Freshman Herald and Freshman Handbook, and roomed with Dan Johnston.

After Army service in Korea he earned an MBA at Harvard and went on to a career as an executive in human resources at several corporations.

Bill died Oct. 25, 2017. He is survived by his wife, Charlotte; and three sons, Kevin, Kenneth, and Kent.

In The Book of Our History, Bill was misreported as having died in 1989. That was cheerfully contradicted by his coming to our 50th reunion.
