After nearly two years of struggle against the effects of a stroke suffered in 1994, Ron died Feb. 21, 1996, at Cincinnati's Drake Special Care Institute.

The Class of 1941

Walter Seymour Shingle '41
Sy Shingle died Aug. 29, 1995, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His wife, Priscilla, had passed away a scant month before he did. Sy didn't graduate with us, and there is little we know about him except that he operated a beef-cattle ranch on the island of Hawaii and reported for our 50th yearbook that "I am not famous." A phone call to a daughterinlaw at a Marine base in Kailua extracted the understanding that a newspaper obit copy would be forthcoming. But it never came. The recording secretary's office lists a daughter Muriel Shingle as a survivor, but no address. We wish we had known him better.

As music director of the Nassoons, he created arrangements for a number of songs that have been sung by every group of Nassoons for the past 50 years.

Robert Bromwell Russell II '55
Bob Russell and his youngest son, Eddie, were killed Nov. 22, 1995, when their car struck a tree as they were returning from duckhunting on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Bobby came to us from Gilman School. At Princeton he was twice our class president, a distinguished football player, and captain of the lacrosse team. He served on the undergraduate council, the honor committee, and joined Ivy Club. At class day he was voted the most respected member of our class.
Bob served as a Marine lieutenant before entering the financial world with Chemical Bank in NYC. He returned to Baltimore, working for Robert Garrett & Sons, becoming a partner of Middendorf Colgate & Co., and joining Equitable Trust Co. as a v.p. Ultimately, he became executive v.p. of Investment Councilors of Maryland. He was actively involved in numerous civic endeavors. At his death he was chairman of Union Memorial Hospital.
Bob, who loved life, had an extraordinary range of friends. A gifted athlete, he shared with family and friends his particular interests in golfing, hunting, and fishing, but always insisted that his companion fish the better water or take the first shot.
Our sympathy is extended to his wife, Susie, their three children, Craig, Robbie, and Holly, to his mother, Anne Speake Russell, and brothers, John Russell and Thomas Ewing Russell.

William James East '59
Bill East, a real estate negotiator and management specialist, died of cancer Nov. 28, 1995, at his home in Chestnut Hill, Pa.
Bill was born in Rochester, N.Y., and prepared for Princeton at Bedford H.S. in Ohio. At Princeton he majored in economics and was a member of Court Club. An accomplished trombone player, he will be best remembered as the student conductor of the University Band, the man who regaled us with music at football halftimes.
Following graduation, Bill went to Harvard, where he earned an MBA. His interests turned to real estate. From 1973-85, Bill was president of Reed & Stambaugh, a commercial real estate management and sales firm. He negotiated leases, managed commercial properties, and served as a consultant to firms such as Sun Oil, Mellon Bank, and the Albert Einstein Medical Center. He founded and operated Plaza Capital Realty Advisors, in Chestnut Hill, Pa.
Bill was a member of Princeton's schools committee for the Princeton Clubs of Darien, Conn., and Philadelphia. He developed a fondness for sailing, enjoying the sport in his Swan-47 out of Annapolis, becoming a member of the Corinthian Yacht Club and commodore of the Philadelphia Racquet Club sailing team.
Bill is survived by his daughter, Anne Elizabeth Donaldson, and his son, William J. Jr., to whom the class extends its deepest sympathy.

Albert Theodore Sandquist III '59
Ted Sandquist died of heart problems Nov. 21, 1995, at his home in Pipersville, Pa.
Ted grew up in Westfield, N.J., where he attended high school. An economics major at Princeton, Ted was active in Orange Key and performed with the NROTC drill team. He ate at Key and Seal, where he also participated in intramural sports.
After Princeton, Ted earned a BS degree in marketing from Rutgers, as well as an MBA. He went to work for Young & Rubicam Advertising in NYC in 1965, then moved on to Block Drug Co. in Jersey City in 1967. After a few years at Block, Ted left to devote full-time to rental real estate ventures, an avocation that had become a profession for him. He also began a small yacht chartering business in New York harbor, which later blossomed into an afloat party
catering enterprise.
Ted was a devoted fan of Princeton football, and often brought an entourage of friends to games with him. His RV parked behind Cloister Inn on football weekends became a fixture-and a stopping point for classmates on their way to games-for several years. His quick smile and warm hospitality made even a brief visit a pleasurable event.
The class extends its sympathy to Ted's brother, David, his only survivor.
