BILL HANNA died on Dec. 4, 1989. He transferred from Lehigh in September 1921. After graduating with our Class he attended the Princeton Graduate School from which he received his M.S.E. in 1925. He was associated with General Electric until 1940 when he joined Baltimore Gas & Electric and associated companies. He retired in 1968. He was a licensed engineer and a fellow in I.E.E.E. His father, John H. Hanna, was a member of the Class of 1892.

He is survived by his widow, Elizabeth Stewart; his daughter, Mrs. A. Bruce Davenport; his sons, William and John; and by six grandchildren.

To them we extend our sympathy.
