George Booth Dunbar ’38
George died Sept. 25, 2000. A resident of Wheaton, Ill., George prepared at Asheville School and Lake Forest Academy. At Princeton he majored in psychology, played freshman football, and joined Charter Club. Since graduation, there has been little news from George. He did not submit to our 50 Years Later book, but in our '83, '92, and '98 directories, he is listed as retired and living in Evanston. His nephew, Bruce Dunbar Bridegroom, writes: "Uncle George never married and had no children, but he was the wisest, most entertaining, and most caring uncle imaginable. He was proud of his Princeton education, and never lost his desire to keep learning. Before his final bout with cancer, he was taking courses in theoretical physics at Northwestern U. If he were still here, I'm sure he would convey his best wishes to his fellow classmates at your forthcoming 63rd reunion." The class is grateful to Bruce for his heartwarming tribute to George, and extends condolences to him and all surviving relatives.
