Arthur Ernest Mittnacht Jr. ’42

Art, an orthopedic surgeon devoted to his patients, family, friends, and Princeton, died July 14, 2005, of complications from leukemia in Pinehurst, N.C.

A graduate of Kent School, he majored in biology at Princeton, earned letters in 150-pound crew and football, and was a member of the Glee Club and Ivy Club. Upon graduation from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University, Art, a lieutenant junior grade, served 32 months in the Navy including a memorable post-World War II round-the-world goodwill tour.

Following residencies in Memphis and in Philadelphia, where in 1952 he met and married Nancy Bracy, who worked in the same hospital, Art was certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and joined Princeton Orthopedic Group. There, until his retirement in 1992, he was "busily occupied mending bones and joints of fellow Prince-

tonians" and enjoying dinghy racing on Lake Carnegie and golf holidays with Nancy and their children, Arthur, John, Lisa, and Peter.

After Art's retirement he and Nancy moved to the Lawn and Tennis Club of North Carolina in Pinehurst. Although retired from active practice, Art continued his interest in orthopedics and served as a disability consultant for several years.

To Nancy, the children, and their families, the class expresses deepest sympathy.
