William Shellman Morse ’61
We recently learned of Shell's death July 15, 2002, but we have no indication of where he died or the cause of death.
Shell came to Princeton from New Trier HS in Illinois, where he was a varsity athlete, sports editor of the school paper, and member of the student council. At Princeton he was a member of Tiger Inn and majored in economics, writing his thesis on branch banking. In the Nassau Herald, he wrote he planned to go to law school or Naval OCS.
Beyond that we know little, except our 15th-reunion yearbook lists his address as Chevway Corp. in Chicago, and in 1991, he moved to Vail, Colo.
We know he married several times, but have no further details from or about survivors. Nonetheless, our hearts go out to them.
