HERBERT EPSTEIN ’40
These are the words of old friend George Hamid: “Herb, known to his friends as Hyp, left us Aug. 8, 2003. His nickname resulted from a hypnotism course in his senior year as a psych major. The ‘Hyper’ became ‘Hyp’ even after he graduated with honors and Sigma Xi.”
Prevented from joining WWII armed services as a result of a broken neck while attending Elmira [N.Y.] Academy, he did everything he could as a civilian to help.
Hyp’s life and business were in Elmira, where after graduation he married Doris Baker. Their marriage would last 60 years. His primary business was insurance. When asked, “Why do you have so many small accounts when a couple of big ones would better serve you?” he answered, “I get to know more people.”
People were his devoted interest. Anyone close to Hyp with a problem sought him out. He never turned a deaf ear. Former class treasurer and editor of our 40th yearbook, he never missed a reunion from 1946 through 2000, and attended almost always with Hamid and Arthur Schmitt.
Princetonians attending Hyp’s Elmira services were George Hamid, Charlie Swartwood ’39, Bill Tryon ’53, son Mike ’71, and daughter-in-law Carol ’78. To them, daughter Kate, and widow Dorie, the class extends its deep sympathy.

Having dropped out after junior year, he engaged in playwriting and published his first book of poems, Of Mute Insensate Things, in 1942. Lou returned in 1945 to study journalism and finish college. The following year he published Days of Dust.
In 1952, after his father died and Lou returned to Honduras to run the family business, he married Maria Dolores Solorzano. They raised three boys and three girls. These endeavors left little time for the “speculative pursuit of writing plays.” To that, other literary activities, and his family, Lou devoted full time after retiring in 1983.

JOHN PHILIP HARDING II ’53
John, one of our most engaging members, died Aug. 21, 2003 at his Wonder Lake, Ill., home after a period of declining health. He had undergone unsuccessful knee surgery several years ago, and Canterbury School classmate and college roommate Peter Carney said John fell early this year, broke his hip, and serious complications occurred.

Carney, Ed Duffy, Jack McGovern, Ned Jannotta, Jim Otis, and Buzz Taylor were pallbearers. John leaves his wife, Jacqueline; sons John F. III, Martin J., Stephen J. Bolger, and Paul M. Bolger; daughter Christina Ann; and seven grandchildren. Like them, we mourn his death.
