The Class of 1955

James Ross Harvey '56
Jim Harvey, a past recipient of the 1956 Distinguished Classmate Award, died June 6, 1996. Jim was born in L.A. Aug. 20, 1934, and came to Princeton from the Thacher School. At Old Nassau he majored in basic engineering, joined Cottage Club, and was business manager of WPRB.
Following graduation Jim received his MBA from Berkeley. He held several jobs before joining Transamerica Corp. in San Francisco in Jan. 1965. After serving in a number of executive positions, Jim became president of Transamerica in 1979. He was CEO from 1981-91 and chairman of the board from 1983-95.
To his outstanding business career, Jim added involvement with numerous civic and charitable organizations which reflected his continuing interest in his community and the environment, such as the chamber of commerce, several art museums of San Francisco, and the Nature Conservancy. Jim refused to let a continent's distance interfere with his friendships with Princeton classmates like Jack Doub and Jack Thompson. He was an unpretentious man with a great sense of humor and a zest for life.
To Jim's beloved wife, Charlene, and his children, Kristina, Kjersten, Brita, and Fiona, the class extends its sympathy.
The Class of 1956

Steven Theodore Kauffman '61
Ted Kauffman, a partner in US WATS, a Chadds Ford, Pa., marketer of discount long-distance rates, died of heart failure on Sept. 16, 1995, in Philadelphia's Lankenau Hospital.
Born in Bryn Mawr, Pa., and raised in West Chester, Ted was a 1957 graduate of Peddie School. At Princeton he studied engineering, joined Dial Lodge, and roomed with Jim Klein, Mike Harris, and Jim Wood. Ted left Princeton during our junior year, later graduating from Drexel with a degree in business administration. "I really wish I hadn't squandered the opportunity," Ted observed in our 25th-reunion yearbook, but he went on to say how well his Princeton experience had served him over the years.
After Drexel, Ted worked for his family's business, Kauffman's Home Furnishings, and then was in the construction and commercial real estate field before joining US WATS. In the mid-70s, his lifelong interest in bridge led to his becoming a Life Master.
We did not see much of Ted after he left Princeton, but, remembering his funloving and rambunctious spirit, we wish we had.
Ted is survived by his widow, Elizabeth, his parents, DeVere and Sylvia, and a brother, Walter. We join them in their grief.
The Class of 1961

Andrea Gaetano Prochilo '61
Andy died in his sleep on May 27, 1996, of heart failure. He lived in Hurst, Tex.
He came to Princeton from Oceanside H.S. on Long Island. He rapidly became one of our most popular classmates due to his charismatic personality, warmth, sincerity, and enthusiastic approach to life. Football was his first love, and teammates remember him for his unselfishness and contributions to team spirit. He majored in economics and was a member of Tiger Inn.
Shortly after graduation, he and Pat were married and left for Ft. Sill, Okla., where he began a twoyear stint as an artillery officer. Returning to NYC, he joined IBM, beginning a lifelong career in sales. Always quick to meet IBM's sales quotas, Andy became restless and began to search for greater challenges. This led to relocation to the Chicago area and work in the massmailing industry with firms who maintain huge consumer databases for clients. In recent years, he was an independent contractor for Natl. Revenue Corp.
A regular reunions attendee, he often led us in dancing to "oldies" from the '60s. He was an avid "duffer" and loved Texas for its yearround golfing climate. Andy is survived by Pat, his three children, Douglas, Lisa, and Donald, two grandchildren, his mother, and eight brothers and sisters. The class joins them in their grief.
The Class of 1961

Dave McCabe '62
Dave McCabe died of leukemia Aug. 25, 1996, in MYC. Dave came to Princeton from Deerfield, where he had been managing editor of the school newspaper, and a member of the Glee Club and hockey team. While at Princeton, Dave was a member of Colonial Club, was a participant in the arts at Princeton, a keyceptor, and an editor of the Daily Princetonian.
After earning his law degree at Columbia, Dave joined Sherman & Sterling, achieving partner in 1974. Most recently, he was senior partner and the firm's international coordinator. Dave, who represented multinational corporations and governments in mergers, acquisitions, and public offering practice, had also served as a director of General Timer, the Kanthal Corp., and the National Forge Corp.
Dave lived most of his life in Greenwich, Conn., and became a prominent dealer and collector of late 19th century American paintings. The class has lost a loyal member, and extends its deepest sympathy to his mother, Ruth; his wife, Caroline; his daughter, Caroline; his son, Nicholas; his step-children, Susannah, Peter, Katrina, and Miranda Riede; and to his brothers, Charles, Robert, and Peter.
The Class of 1962

Harold C. Bott h'69
Harold C. Bott died June 6, 1996, in Greenwich, Conn. The father of our classmate Richard H. Bott, Harold was our only honorary member. Born in East Palestine, Ohio, he graduated from Case Western Reserve U. in Cleveland in 1929. A star athlete, he earned eight varsity letters and in 1994 was elected to the CaseWestern Reserve U. Athletic Hall of Fame.
Harold's entire professional career, spanning 44 years, was spent with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. When he retired in 1973, he was serving as president and CEO of a Goodyear subsidiary, Vanderbilt Automotive Centers. A lt. in the Navy, Harold served in WWII both on Midway Island and at Pearl Harbor.
Among his many volunteer interests, the class and the university were best served by his remarkable commitment to heading Parent Giving for our 20th reunion in 1989. His characteristic energy and enthusiasm combined to generate the largest number of dollars ever given, at that time, by a group of parents in recognition of a reunion.
Our sympathy is extended to Harold's wife of 58 years, Eleanor Stewart Bott, and to Dick and his wife, Marian, and their daughter, Christina. The family has requested that memorial contributions be sent to the Princeton Class of '69 Annual Giving.
We will miss this special friend.

Ian was born and raised in the Washington area. As a child, he developed what proved to be a lifelong love of nature and animals; he was an avid birdwatcher. He attended St. Alban's School, where he played varsity basketball, football, and baseball, becoming an all-Metropolitan pitcher during his senior year. At Princeton he played baseball for two years, lived in Butler College, and was a member of Dial Lodge.
While at college, Ian began suffering from severe depression. After graduating with a degree in economics, he spent much of the next six years seeking treatment. From 1993 until Apr. 1996, he lived in and near Baltimore, attending programs organized by Sheppard Pratt Hospital. Shortly before his death, he had begun work in the warehouse of a printing firm, Kelly Press in Mount Rainier.
