Dave died Sept. 26, 2000, at Lynchburg [Va.] General Hospital following a heart attack. After a long and distinguished career in education, Dave retired in 1987 as professor of Asian studies at Randolph-Macon Women's College in Lynchburg, but had begun teaching two courses there last fall.

Preparing at Mercersburg Academy, Dave joined our class but left during senior year to become a naval intelligence officer, eventually lt. commander, in Washington and the Pacific theater. After WWII, he married Laura, received an MA and a PhD from Yale, and spent 12 years in government service, here and abroad. In 1962 he was selected as director of the Tri-College Asian studies program at Lynchburg College, Randolph-Macon, and Sweet Briar, until 1965, when he joined the faculty of Randolph-Macon. Active in many civic organizations, he also led a number of trips abroad to study Asian culture. Dave was always a dedicated Princetonian, attending reunions, and leaving a lasting impression of his wit and humor at the first '42 mini-reunion in Skytop, Pa.

The class joins his wife, Laura, his children, Laura, David, and Alex, and his eight grandchildren in mourning the loss of a wonderful friend, husband, and father.
