Richard T. Beebe ’24

Dr. Richard Beebe died July 28, 1998. He was 96. Born in Great Barrington, Mass., he was the son, nephew, and grandson of country doctors, and often accompanied his father on house calls.

He continued to make house calls until age 92 and maintained a small practice until his death. Among his many honors was the establishment of the Beebe Chair of Medicine at the Albany Medical Center.

An Albany newspaper wrote, “Because he was outspoken on the issue of money and medicine, Dr. Beebe earned his share of critics. However, his greatest contribution may have been his courage to shame people into doing more. Which is to say he was that rarest of healers: one who nurtured the best within us.” He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Jean, two daughters, a son, and six grandchildren.

Always fun-loving, his roommates, including Bucky Block and Jim Quiggle, remember Grove’s escorting the screen star Virginia Mayo to the Bicentennial Ball as honored queen. Loyal to his friends and his class, Grove will be greatly missed.

The Class of 1970

Alan Campi ’73

Alan died of heart failure on June 12, 2001, at his Pennington home, survived only by his sister Alicia. Born in Trenton, Big Al came to Princeton from the Hun School. He spent his career working in the New Jersey court system.

Alan played freshman football and worked on the Prince, but we remember him best sitting at Quadrangle, playing bridge, APBA, and poker. Creative yet prescient bids and bets, shrewd calculation of probabilities, and the occasional power-snooze made him a fearsome opponent and occasionally a fearsome partner. Big Al was also a hoops and volleyball terror, gleefully using his not-inconsiderable bulk to intimidate lesser opponents. And when the lights finally went out at Quad, Big Al would wander back to wake his roommates, offer them a beer, and persuade them to play “just one rubber.”

Big Al loved his friends, Quadrangle, and Princeton, probably in that order, and was loved in turn by all those with whom he came in contact. In his memory, his friends are donating a card table and chairs to Quadrangle, where his picture on a memorial plaque will beam down on card players yet unborn. Persons interested in contributing to the memorial should contact Bill Jones at 212-315-8344.
