William Pagenstecher ’34

BILL PAGENSTECHER, who retired in 1971 as V.P. and senior investment officer of the Boatmen's Natl. Bank in St. Louis, died in that city Oct. 20,1990, after a brief Illness. Last June he attended his 60th reunion at St. Paul's School, and the summer he spent at his place in Vermont, where he enjoyed taking guests for a spin on Lake Champlain in his 1957 ChrisCraft mahogany runabout.

Bill often expressed his debt to Prof. Thomas Wertenbaker, whose courses in American history he took as an undergraduate, for having generated an interest in Colonial and Revolutionary history that became a major hobby. He was a past president of the Missouri Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and a natl. trustee representing Missouri. In 1960 he was awarded the S.A.R.'s gold Citizenship Award for "outstanding service." In Vermont he served on the advisory board of the R. Ticonderoga Assn. and became involved in what was the most important historical restoration in the area.

Bill was unmarried. There are no immediate survivors.
