Carl graduated with a degree in chemical engineering and went immediately to work for the National Zinc Co. in Bartlesville, eventually retiring as director of research.

Born in New York City, he married Grace Langeloh of New Rochelle in 1940, and they called Bartlesville home for the rest of their lives. Aside from his career, Carl told us, he enjoyed the challenge of raising better cattle. After retiring he was able to devote himself full time to raising registered Hereford cattle, operating his ranch in Joplin, Mo. He was also a licensed pilot and a ham radio operator. He served as a board member of countless civic organizations in Bartlesville including the Bartlesville Art Association, the Boys and Girls Club, the Musical Research Society, and Bluestem Medical Foundation. For recreation he favored golf (annually on May 30) and fishing (annually on July 4).

Hugh de Neufville Wynne ’39 *40

Bud, our class president since 1984, died July 4, 2007.

A geology major, he joined Creole Petroleum, a subsidiary of Standard Oil of New Jersey (later Exxon) and worked as a geologist in the oil fields in Venezuela. There he met and, in 1942, married Irene Paris Lujan. He then took up his commission with the Army at Fort Knox and later Panama. Awarded the Legion of Merit for his work in improving the accuracy of tank gunnery, he was discharged as a major in 1946.

Bud and his family returned to Venezuela, where he resumed his career with Exxon, subsequently heading up Exxon’s operations in Argentina, Libya, and Spain. In 1975 he and Irene retired to Princeton. While he often served the community, his first loyalty was to the University, raising funds for the restor-

ation of the carillon at the Graduate College, the recovery of historic sculptures for the campus, and the preparation of a guidebook on the University’s gargoyles. He chaired the Princetoniana Committee from 1987 to 1989.

We offer our sincere sympathy to Irene, whose warm and generous welcome to us when we so often gathered at their home we will always treasure. Also surviving are a daughter, Diane, son Hugh Jr., three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

ROBERT M. PIERSON ’40

A longtime Hudson, Ohio, resident, Bob, who survived his wife, the former Jane Stephens, and son David, died June 20, 2007.

Bob always was the person on hand opening day at the nearby ski slopes. He and classmate Jake Rogers founded Ski-40 and kept it active. These classmates gathered to ski in Vermont or New Hampshire until 2006.

Bob prepared at Staunton Military Academy and majored in chemical engineering at Princeton, achieving second-group departmental and general honors. He was on the freshman wrestling squad, 150-pound football team, and intramural boxing team, and was a member of the Civil Aeronautic Authority Program and Key and Seal Club.

Bob joined Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. in Akron in synthetic rubber research, becoming manager in 1956 and then director of research. He was instrumental in arranging research support in Princeton’s chemistry department. He belonged to various national and local professional societies, was a trustee of the Artificial Heart Research Foundation, and received several public-service awards.

His retirement did not end his lifelong pursuit of inventions and patents, but merely changed the direction of his creativity to wind-generated power devices that were inexpensive enough for the impoverished of the Third WorId.

His classmates wish to extend their condolences to Bob’s survivors.

The Class of 1940

Thomas Robert Fiddler ’42

ALLEN HOWARD LEMMON JR. ’42

Al died May 22, 2007, in Hilton Head, S.C., of complications from surgery a month after the death of his second wife, the former Lois Jane Troy.

Al came to us by way of Dormont (Pa.) High School and Mercersburg Academy. At Princeton he majored in economics and was a member of Triangle and Tower clubs. During World War II, Al flew B-17 bombers in the European theater and earned the Air Medal with four clusters.

Al spent most of his career with Gulf Oil in retail marketing and human resources. A bachelor until mid-career when he worked near Princeton, he met and married Wanda “Bunky” G. Baker in 1961, and she brought him three fine stepsons (Gary, Craig, and Hutch) from a previous marriage. What a congenial family it was! Al was challenged to keep up with their activities — Bunky’s stellar tennis, sailing, “a little scouting, a little Christian education work . . . a little fund- and fun-raising.”

Al took early retirement in 1980 to “help build another church, travel, [and] enjoy sharing things with a growing family and new friends.” Eventually he and Bunky moved to Hilton Head. Sadly, she died in 1996. The following year Al married Lois Jane, who shared Al’s enthusiasm in attending our mini-reunions.

To Gary, Craig, Hutch, Al’s three daughters-in-law, and 10 grandchildren, including Joanna Ganson ’02, the class extends its condolences.

The Class of 1942

REGINALD M. ROWE JR. ’44

“For me, art is a compulsion. I have to do it; I don’t know what else to do,” Reggie said. And art is what Reggie “did” — and taught. He died June 15, 2007, after a vast search found him where he’d fallen during a walk with his dog, Sam, in rough country outside San Antonio.

Reggie was longtime chairman of the faculty at the San Antonio Art Institute and revered as a pioneer abstract expressionist. He prepped at Choate. His father was Princeton 1910.

Reg was on our 150-pound football squad and secretary-treasurer of Colonial Club. Close friends included Doug Dimond, Monty Geer, Hal Haskell, Bob Kean, and Harcourt Waller.

He earned his bachelor’s in languages in 1943, before serving three years with the Navy in the Pacific. Starting a bank career in Manhattan, he also studied at the Art Students’ League. He then switched, first to portrait painting in 1950, before finding his long-term niche in abstract painting.

In the 1940s and 1950s, while Reggie and his first wife, Peggy Steinhart, were in Cuba, Ernest Hemingway befriended him and encouraged his painting. He later earned a master’s in art in Mexico.

Survivors include Reggie’s wife of 37 years, artist Jan Tips Rowe, and his daughters, Michele Rowe-Shields and Betsy Beckmann. Our sincere condolences go to his family, fellow artists, and his many students.

In 1953 he returned as a general practitioner to his native town, Lowville, N.Y., in the foothills of the Adirondacks and married Mary Lou in 1958. He retired after a busy professional and active civic life in 1995.

Too, he enjoyed an active avocational life — including tennis, hunting, fishing, and gardening — coupled with his self-taught skill at the piano, a love of music, and a passion for meteorology. All these pursuits, Bill wrote for our 50th, combined to help him appreciate “the essence of life.”

He died Dec. 2, 2006. At his memorial service, he was remembered with fondness as a kind and gentle man who offered warmth and friendship to all he met throughout his life.

We celebrate this happy classmate who always took great pride in his Princeton education, and we send our best wishes to Mary Lou and the family.

W. Speed Hill ’57

After six years of contending with Parkinson’s disease, W. Speed Hill died May 8, 2007.

Speed was internationally renowned in the field of textual editing, the discerning of the relative authenticity of manuscripts from times when copyrighting was unknown. His life’s work was to lead a scholarly team in the creation of a multivolume compilation with commentary of the works of Richard Hooker, a wise and remarkable English Renaissance theologian.

Speed was associated with the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., and was co-founder of the Society for Textual Scholarship. He served as professor of English at Lehman College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York until his retirement several years ago, after which he continued to lecture at academic societies.

Thomas E. Heftler ’65

On the morning of June 23, 2007, while bicycling in Southampton, N.Y., Tom Heftler was struck and killed by a drunk driver.

A cum laude graduate of New York University Law School, Tom was a longtime partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, a 350-attorney firm based in New York City. A noted specialist in derivatives and commodities, he served for many years as the firm’s managing and then co-managing partner. He was a founding director of the not-for-profit Migraine and Pain Fund.

Cycling was only one of Tom’s passions. A renaissance man for our time, he was an outstanding photographer (after learning demanding studio work as an apprentice, he considered leaving law to pursue it). A lifelong ham radio operator, he could and did fix anything electrical or mechanical, a talent that, in his Princeton years, he brought to WPRB, where he headed the technical side. Memorialized by his colleagues as “a brilliant lawyer and a gentle soul,” Tom was funny, deeply humane, humble, and remarkably modest. His joie de vivre was thoroughly infectious.

Lois Weinroth, Tom’s wife of 30 years and also a partner at Stroock, sons Daniel and Jeffrey, and three grandsons survive him. The class extends its sympathy to the family.

The Class of 1965

William Bayard Heroy Jr. *41

William Bayard Heroy Jr., a business geologist who later joined Southern Methodist University, died Sept. 25, 2006. He was 91. He had resided at The Forest at Duke in Durham, N.C., for 14 years.

Earning a bachelor’s degree Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth in 1937, Heroy received his Ph.D. in geology from Princeton in 1941. During World War II, he worked in the southwest for Texaco and then for the Geotechnical Corp. in Dallas from 1945 to 1965, rising to president of the company. After Geotech was bought by Teledyne, he was group executive assistant to its president.

Heroy later went to Southern Methodist University, where he served as vice president-treasurer. He was then head of its Institute for the Study of Earth and Man, until retiring in 1982 as professor emeritus.

He was treasurer of the Geological Society of America for many years and president of the American Geological Institute, both of which honored him for his service.

Heroy is survived by Dorothy, his wife of 70 years; four children; seven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

Leon A. Henkin *47

Leon A. Henkin, professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, and for more than 40 years an effective advocate for diversity in the upper realms of math and science, died of natural causes in Oakland Nov. 1, 2006. He was 85.

At Princeton, he earned a master’s in 1942 and a Ph.D. in 1947, both in mathematics. His dissertation was supervised by the famous logician Alonzo Church ’24 *27. During World War II, he worked on the Manhattan Project. He went to Berkeley in 1953, became a full professor in 1958, and retired in 1991.

According to John W. Addison, a former long-term chair of Berkeley’s math department, Henkin’s doctoral dissertation produced a radically new proof that was recognized by leading logicians, and remains a fundamental tool in model theory, now regarded as one of the four leading branches of mathematical logic. Addison also praised Henkin’s teaching as “truly exceptional.”

A 1990 tribute from the Mathematical Association of America stated that “few individuals of our era have had a greater impact on the health of American mathematics than has Leon Henkin.”

He is survived by his wife, Ginette, and two sons.

This issue has undergraduate memorials for Lowell M. Pumphrey ’36 *41 and Hugh de N. Wynne ’39 *40.
