The Class of 1949
Sanford C. Reynolds '51
Sandy died of heart failure in Dallas, Tex., Nov. 1, 1995, and so went one of the class's and university's stalwarts. In addition to being '51's class secretary from 1956-61, he had been on the Alumni Council's executive committee, a trustee of Princeton in Asia, and chairman of PAW's board of editorial direction from 1960-69.
Sandy loved kids and local politics. He devoted hours in Princeton to Midget League football, teaching youngsters the game's fundamentals and sportsmanship. As vice-chairman of the Princeton joint recreation board, he suddenly found himself in 1969 the lame duck (Republican) member of the Princeton township committee.
He was a marketing expert, first at Gallup and Robinson in Princeton, then as a v.p. at Young & Rubicam advertising in NYC. He moved to Y&R's Denver office in 1975, retired and went to live in Jacksonville, where he bought a restaurant supply business.
Sandy came to Princeton from the Darrow School. At Old Nassau he majored in psychology, was a member of Charter Club, and roomed with Dick Cruess and Buddy Hoyt.
The class extends its deepest condolences to Sandy's wife, June, and to his sons, George and James, and five grandchildren.

Robert Young Barham Jr. '52
Following a massive heart attack, Bob Barham died in Greenwich (Conn.) Hospital May 29, 1995. His memorial service was held at the Second Congregational Church in Greenwich. At his interment in Orange County, Va., he was memorialized by classmates John Schmid and Bob Jiranek.

Bob found a home with IBM as sales trainee in 1957. He progressed rapidly in management with IBM, and was executive assistant to the chairman, assistant general manager in Europe, and finally was product management executive. Bob also managed IBM's effort to design and market an insurance industry network. This formed the basis for Insurance Value Added Network Service, which began as a small, nonprofit organization, and grew into a business with 500 members. At his death, Bob was president and CEO of IVANS, Inc.
Bob is survived by his father, Robert Y. Sr.; his wife, Rose Mary; two sons, David '76 and William; a stepdaughter, Lisa Biviano; a sister, Lucy MacIlvaine; and classmate and brother-in-law, Bill '52. We offer them our profound sympathy.

Upon returning to the states, he worked for Paribas North America in NYC, where he concentrated on troubled credits. He retired from Paribas but remained a consultant for some years.
Tony returned often to the North Jersey shore, the area of his youth. Before Princeton, he graduated from Lawrenceville. At Princeton he majored in economics. He was a member of Cloister Inn.
Tony was a relatively private person, but he had an ability to enjoy almost any situation in which he found himself. He was highly respected and liked by virtually all acquaintances.
He enjoyed games of chance and skill. One of his skills was contract bridge, where he won important pair and team events in NYC. He also won the 1970 Natl. Reisinger Team of Four championship against the best players in the country.

His business career was spent with American Airlines. He began his 35-year tenure at Idlewild, N.Y., in 1959. Shortly thereafter, American began a new project called Sabre System. This fascinated Milt, and he became a senior systems engineer with that project.
He remained in New York until 1970. That year he married Mary Imes, a native of Scotland, and they moved to Tulsa. Mary reminisced at Milt's love of anything mechanical. He could take apart and rebuild cars, computers, or whatever he could find. He was a computer adviser to the Red Cross. Another favorite was classical music, especially baroque. Milt was also a member of the New York Choral Society.
Milt would say he loved his wife, three daughters, and Princeton. The class extends its sincere condolences to Mary and their daughters, Catherine '94, Elizabeth, and Heather.

Robert Bruce MacBain '81
Bob MacBain died at his home in Lexington, Mass., Sept. 22, 1995, almost five years after being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. His wife since 1984, Theodora Martin '82, was by his side.
Born and raised in Connecticut, Bob attended public schools in New Britain. At Princeton he majored in mechanical engineering and courtyard Frisbee, lived primarily in Princeton Inn, and dined independent. At Xenergy, Inc., he managed the software development group and created energy conservation software packages that helped define the young company, becoming a principal as the business expanded internationally. Bob loved the sea and enjoyed windsurfing, cooking exotic meals, and beating his colleagues at tennis. His social conscience prompted activism for world peace and women's rights.
Five months after his daughter, Menemsha, was born, dizzy spells led to the detection of the brain tumor that ruled the rest of his life. For the last three years, Bob's illness required that he never be left alone. In the end, robbed of so much else, he was left with a large circle of devoted friends.
In addition to Dori and Menemsha, he is survived by his parents, Robert T. and Tina MacBain, and his sisters, Regan Epstein and Deirdre MacBain.
