STANDISH FORDE MEDINA ’37
Stan died on Sept. 27, 2001, from a cerebral aneurysm he suffered after
visiting his closed office near the World Trade Center. He was 86.
A member of Quadrangle Club and Phi Beta Kappa, Stan was the intercollegiate pole vault champion in both 1936 and 1937, and his Princeton record of 13 ft., 10 1/4 in. stood for 24 years, long after fiberglass poles superseded the rigid bamboo poles. His list of Princeton volunteer activities (including class secretary, president, treasurer, reunion chair, and Alumni Council) encompasses two single-spaced pages.
On the Law Review at Columbia like his father, Judge Harold R. Medina ’09, and his brother, Harold Jr. ’34, before him, Stan was a trust and estates lawyer. Admitted to the bar in New York and New Jersey, he was a joint partner in the NYC firm of Medina & Miller, and, after 1972, a sole practitioner until his death.
Married for 57 years to the late Hope Kiesewetter, Stan lived in Morristown, N.J., and Westhampton, N.Y. Predeceased by his oldest son, Standish “Forde” Medina Jr. ’62, he is survived by his son, Jeremy ’64, his daughter, Meredith Murray, seven grandchildren (including Tray Medina Evarts ’90), and five great-grandchildren.

He was former president of the General Board of Proprietors of Eastern Division of N.J.; founding member of the Union County Bar Assn.; board of governors’ member of the N.J. Historical Society, member of the executive committee of the Yale Law School Alumni Assn. — to name a few. He founded and was former president of the Legal Aid Society of Union, N.J., a testament to his caring and giving nature.
“Joe Engel was an extremely gifted lawyer. His integrity was without peer. Notwithstanding his success in all walks of life, Joe had a true compassion for those less fortunate,” said US District Judge Alfred Wolen.

IRVING AVARD MEEKER ’40
“Bud” died at home on Feb. 12, 2000, surrounded by his loving family. He underwent the removal of a brain tumor 40 years ago, and a cancer of the pancreas 17 years ago, and was proud to survive. In each case he was able to return to his career as a children’s surgeon.
Born in Montclair, N.J., he attended the Thatcher School, and after Princeton, obtained his medical degree from Columbia.
He served as a lieutenant in the Navy during WWII in the Pacific theater. One of the country’s earliest pediatric surgeons, he was on the staff of St. Luke’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital of LA, and Huntington Memorial Hospital for many years.
To quote Bud, “In retrospect, the work I did 40 years ago on tissue transplantation as a Harvard teaching fellow in surgical research has proved worthwhile. Twenty-five years ago I founded the Pacific Assn. of Pediatric Surgeons, now the first or second largest organization of its kind in the world.”
Predeceased by his daughter Jane, he is survived by his wife, Gloria, his brother, Leonard, sons Irving III and Ted M., daughters Ann Schiebelhut and Claire Arthur, 12 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

Good humor and good will were fundamental parts of him, and the sheer joy of his laugh will always be with us.

Arthur F. Davidsen ’66
The class lost one of our country’s most distinguished astrophysicists when Art Davidsen died July 19, 2001. Art had a recurring lung disorder, and died in the arms of his wife, Frauke. He was 57.
Art came to Princeton from Freeport, N.Y., and roomed with Steve Reich ’66, T. R. Reid ’66, and Fred Talcott ’66. That’s the crew that invented J.D. Oznot ’68, and Art was at the center of the plot. He took Oznot’s SAT exams and was furious that he scored only 792 on the math test. Art played many instruments and was the mainstay of a rock band that included Dave Kidd ’66. After serving on a destroyer during Vietnam and earning a PhD in astronomy at Berkeley, Art joined the physics faculty at Johns Hopkins. The NY Times wrote that he was the “prime mover in transforming the university into an astronomical powerhouse.” Art was one of the world’s leading experts on the intergalactic medium, the primordial ooze left over from the Big Bang. The license plate on his beloved Harley-Davidson Fatboy read “HUT-PI,” representing another of his titles, principal investigator for the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope.
He is survived by Frauke, two sons, and two stepsons.

Charlie perished on Sept. 11, 2001, when a hijacked jetliner slammed into 1 World Trade Center, a few yards below his 100th floor office. Charlie prepped at Lawrenceville School. At Princeton, he majored in history, was an active member of Tower Club, Orange Key, Whig-Clio, and the Young Republicans, and roomed with Rick Ferris, Rich Huberman, and Steve Whelan.
After Yale Law School, Charlie joined the NYC law firm of LeBoeuf Lamb Greene & McCrae, specializing in insurance, corporate, and regulatory matters. He then became special counsel to the New York State Assembly Insurance Committee. In 1980, Charlie joined insurance conglomerate Marsh & McLennan, rising to senior vice president. Colleagues noted how Charlie not only provided instant, documented answers to complex issues involving taxes or solvency regulations, but also was gifted in dealing with government officials.
Always possessed of a whimsical streak, Charlie would have said that the high point of his career was producing, directing, and (as Charles Austin) starring in the 1980 horror film Toxic Zombies. In truth, he was devoted to his wife of 22 years, Michelle, and their children, Derek and Maxine. To them and his many friends, the class extends its deepest sympathy.

Strong and lasting friendships marked Buff’s entire life — when he was growing up in Demarest, N.J., and attending Bergen Catholic HS, at Princeton, and later in Greenwich, Conn. Buff lived life to the utmost at Princeton. He studied politics, played varsity golf, and was a unanimously popular member of Cottage Club. Save for a few gray hairs, he showed that things hadn’t changed at the 25th reunion last June, by joyfully renewing friendships, and even winning the alumni golf tournament.
Buff’s success at life showed not only through his friendships and career on Wall Street, but also through an incredibly close and committed family. Buff’s wife, Susan, and daughter Chloe, parents Bob ’47 and Mariann, sisters Priscilla Stumm ’72 and Lili Tatsuno, together with extended family that includes nieces Ali Stumm Pogorelec ’99 and Amanda Stumm ’01, cousins Eric Wohlforth ’54 and Charles Wohlforth ’86, and father-in-law Dominic Telesco ’52, are lasting proof to the power and strength of family. Buff’s wonderful spirit will continue through them.

Robert Deraney was born on Apr. 20, 1958. He was killed Sept. 11, 2001, during the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Bob was attending a breakfast meeting at Windows on the World restaurant.
Bob’s untimely death deprives our community of a living expression of the kind of cultural understanding and open-mindedness that is so sorely needed to bring peace to the Middle East. Bob, a Lebanese American, was a Near Eastern studies major, and taught after graduation at Lebanon Intl. College in Beirut with Princeton-in-Asia. Terry Wrong ’80, who was posted in Beirut with Bob, recalls, “In a region where everybody has an opinion and usually a closed mind to go with it, he was gentle, reasonable, and open to the views of others.”
Deraney, a graduate of Wharton Business School, worked as a financial consultant and Internet specialist in NYC prior to his death. Bob will be remembered as a deeply caring friend and devoted son and brother.
Bob was an avid student of Arabic poetry and an accomplished ballet dancer and theatrical performer on campus. He will be deeply missed by those whose lives were touched by his humor and generosity.

He was known to most of his classmates as “Stinky,” and will be best remembered by them as someone with an easy smile who reveled in good times with his friends. “He would drop anything to have fun with his friends – especially to have fun with his friends,” said David Shefferman ’92.
His senior year, John played a key role in the Tigers’ winning the lacrosse national championship. In a tie game with one man down, he intercepted a pass that enabled the Tigers to return to offense – and score the overtime goal that captured the victory.
