Sims graduated from Kent School and attended Princeton for two years
before beginning officers’ training in the Navy. In 1941 he was
on convoy duty escorting supply ships from Iceland to England when the
destroyer ahead of his ship was sunk by a German torpedo, the first American
ship lost in World War II. Later he received a commendation for meritorious
conduct during the invasion of France.
At the end of the war, Sims separated as a lieutenant commander and
attended Columbia Law School. After graduation he joined the firm of White
& Case, where he practiced for more than 40 years, specializing in
wills and trusts.

George prepared at Harrisburg Academy. At Princeton he played in the
band, joined Cloister Inn, and participated in the Civil Aviation Authority
Pilot Training Program. He graduated with honors in economics and received
an Army commission through ROTC.
Shortly after graduation, George married Jane Faunce and simultaneously
transferred from the field artillery to the Army Air Corps. After receiving
instruction as an airman, he was assigned to fly transport planes across
the Atlantic and in the European theater. Generally he carried 100-octane
gasoline up to the front lines and returned with wounded soldiers. He
separated as a captain in January 1946, having earned three battle stars.
For many years after the war, George worked in the finance department
of General Electric. In 1970 he quit GE. He and Jane started Sawyer Business
Colleges in Cleveland. He was president, and Jane was vice president and

and then in Guam. He was discharged as a captain in 1946.
After the war, John returned to New Jersey and a career in the financial-services
industry. Certain constants in his life persisted: his love of animals
and his excellence as a bridge player and golfer. His skills in golf were
honed in a foursome that included Bob Baldwin and Bob Marquardt. John
qualified for the 1956 USGA National Amateur Golf Tournament in Illinois
and had played in several North-South championships in North Carolina.

Clancy Stanard died in Florida Nov. 28, 2007, following a severe stroke.
Clancy came to Princeton from the Berkshire School. At Princeton he
majored in modern languages, joined Dial Lodge, and roomed with Tom Rutter,
Jack Guthrie, and Mac Roach. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Clancy
enlisted in the Navy V-5 program and graduated as a Marine Corps pilot.
In this capacity he was sent to the central Pacific, where he repeatedly
attacked Japanese island installations as a pilot of F4U Corsair fighters.
On one occasion his fuel line was shot out by ground fire. He was fished
out of the Pacific by a passing minesweeper. By the end of the war, Clancy
had been awarded 17 Air Medals and six Distinguished Flying Crosses.
At the onset of the Korean conflict he was called back into service.
Again he flew combat aircraft. Some time thereafter he learned that his
wife had died of bulbar poliomyelitis. He returned to civilian life and
the care of two young daughters.
After his service, Clancy worked in life-insurance agency management
before forming Stanard & Associates Insurance Agency in northern Virginia.
His second wife, Alice, died in 2003. He later retired to Florida.
To his close friend, Gladys Hayes; his son, James; his daughters, Katherine
Stanard and Sharon Nielsen; and five grandchildren; the class sends its
condolences.

Bronze Star, and multiple battle ribbons, and worked in intelligence in
Japan. He returned for his bachelor’s in 1947, married Terry in
1951, and began a successful career in advertising. He worked with Young

Edwin Anthony Heard Jr. ’48
With the death of Tony Heard Dec. 28, 2007, the class has lost a stalwart

A native New Yorker, he came to us from New York City’s Trinity
School, on whose board he later served for many years. At Princeton he
was in Campus Club, was involved with The Daily Princetonian, and graduated
with honors in economics and election to Phi Beta Kappa. He was in the

The Class of 1948
Henry Clay Hunt Jr. ’48
Hank Hunt died Dec. 24, 2007.
He was forever involved in the well- being of the class — very
active with Annual Giving as well as our Movers and Shakers (aka executive
committee) and a great number of Reunions committees. At Princeton he
was in Cannon and graduated with highest honors in mechanical engineering.
Hank’s business career was with Mobil Oil and its predecessor
companies for 30 years. His professional life mandated that he and his
family live in England, Italy, Japan, and Australia at various times.
Hank was a longtime member of Stanton (N.J.) Reformed Church. He was
an avid fly fisherman and member of the Amwell Valley Conservancy. He
also enjoyed history as well as cooking, and was a lover of fine foods.

years. In addition to Becky, he is survived by two sons, Henry and Douglas,
and six grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends its sympathy.
The Class of 1948
DANIEL B. WARD ’50
Dan died Nov. 12, 2007, in Washington State after a six-month illness.
He graduated from North Shore Country Day School in Winnetka, Ill.,
and served in Army intelligence before entering Princeton. He majored
in economics and belonged to Tower. His father was in the Class of 1929.
Dan worked for a short time for Marshall Field’s in Illinois,
then moved to Mercer Island, Wash., for, as he put it, “a way of
life — sailing, skiing, camping, hiking, mountains, beauty.”
For 12 years, he worked for Seattle Bank & Trust. His interest in
politics led to his serving as treasurer for Dan Evans’ successful
gubernatorial campaign in 1964 and later joining the governor’s
cabinet as director of commerce and economic development. In 1974 he was
appointed administrator of the Small Business Administration for Region
10. In 1978, he moved to the private sector as a financial consultant
for small businesses. He continued consulting until shortly before he
was incapacitated.
For years, Dan and Marilyn, his wife of 58 years, owned Dinner Island
in the San Juan Islands group, where he truly loved being with friends
and family. We extend our condolences to Marilyn; their children, Anne,
Susan, and Dan; and two grandchildren.
The Class of 1950
DONALD WYMAN JR. ’55
Don died suddenly Nov. 28, 2007, while gardening — an activity
he enjoyed so much — at home in Glastonbury, Conn.
He came to Princeton from Weston (Conn.) High School. Majoring in aeronautical
engineering, Don sang in the Glee Club, was a member of Quad, where he
played club sports, and roomed with David Roblin senior year.
Following three years in the Air Force, where he flew KC-97s, Don spent
38 years with Pratt & Whitney’s experimentation, development,
and testing department. Jet engines, Apollo fuel cells, and deep-submergence
fuel cells were his specialties.
After retiring from P&W, Don shifted gears and became a landscape
designer and master gardener. Fishing, boating, and
traveling were his hobbies. He was a communicant at St. James Episcopal
Church of Glastonbury. Don loved Princeton and served for many years on
the local schools committee.
Don is deeply missed by family and friends. To Elizabeth, his wife of
52 years and girlfriend since Princeton days; his two sons; a daughter;
the grandchildren; and the extended Wyman family, the class extends deepest
sympathy.
The Class of 1955
Fulgencio Rubén Batista ’56
Fulgencio Rubén Batista died Nov. 7, 2007, at home in Miami after
a courageous battle with leukemia and just 11 days short of his 74th birthday.
Rubén, the son of ex-Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, was born
in Havana. After attending Lawrenceville, then Ruston Academy, he graduated
from Princeton with a bachelor’s in economics. He was in the Glee
Club and Cap and Gown, and was president of the Spanish Club. After graduating
and returning to Cuba, he married Carmen and worked for a governmental
organization helping small farmers. He was also elected to Cuba’s
House of Representatives.
In 1959, the family moved to Spain and later Miami. Rubén managed
real estate, was president of the Cuban Museum Foundation of Daytona Beach,
and formed the FBZ Archivos Foundation. His passion lay in world history
(including Cuba’s) and religions. He had an insatiable thirst for
knowledge, a keen intelligence, and dry wit. He was big-hearted and loyal.
The tumult that often marked his life made him rock-strong, and he was
a pillar of stability. Despite his high profile, Rubén lived his
life privately and unassumingly. He was as fearless in death as in life.
He is survived by Carmen, his wife of 50 years; daughters Maria, Maribel,
Carmen, and Tere ’86; and grandchildren Danny, Siena, and Skye.
The Class of 1956
Philip Dominic Masters ’59
Philip Masters of Beaufort, N.C., died of melanoma Aug. 18, 2007, in
the Bronx, N.Y.
Born in Brooklyn, Phil prepared for Princeton at Kew Forest School.
He remained at Princeton at least through bicker, when he joined Prospect
Club. Sometime thereafter he left to join the Marines. In 1976 he was
listed on the University rolls as having “no good address.”
He was, however, far from missing on the world stage.
According to his obituary in The New York Times, Phil was “that
unusual amateur who succeeds in a professionalized field,” that
of undersea archaeologist. Holding a spectrum of jobs “from jewelry
salesman to lighting executive to cabdriver to stockbroker,” he
used his free time to research the location of pirate shipwrecks. In a
book published in 1719, he read accounts of events
off the coast of North Carolina in June 1718 and of a November 1718
pirate’s trial in Charleston, S.C., the same year that Blackbeard’s
ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, was lost. Acting on a hunch, he
formed a diving company and in 1996 discovered “one of the most
complete wrecks of a pirate ship ever found,” believed by many to
be Blackbeard’s.
Phil is survived by three daughters, a son, and five grandchildren.
The Class of 1959
RICHARD THOMAS MULLER ’66
Rick died Oct. 17, 2007.

in IAA sports, and belonged to Whig-Clio.
He graduated from Yale Law School in 1970, and practiced patent law
and taught business law at Lehigh University. He then earned a master’s
degree in tax law from New York University and afterward specialized in
trust and estate law in New York and Pennsylvania. He liked to read, play
golf, and travel.
In 1984 he married fellow attorney Ada Meloy, who is now general counsel
to the American Council on Education. Their two children, Austin Charles
Muller and Mary Blythe Muller, live in New York City.

hope for.”
Andy is survived by his wife of 39 years, Tina; a daughter, Rebekah;
a son, Jed; a grandson; and his mother, brother, and sister.

A graduate of Cheshire (Conn.) High School, he concentrated in Princeton’s
aerospace and mechanical sciences department and was a Forrestal technician
and a member of AIAA and Elm Club.
He roomed with John Snapper in 1903 and achieved notoriety as the first
pick in room draw — dispelling the urban legend that it was rigged
to favor star athletes and sons of noted alumni. Evan was known as one
of the nicest guys imaginable.
As planned, Evan became an aerospace engineer. He was awarded the Donald
Douglas fellowship to MIT, where he earned a master’s in aerospace
engineering. Early in his career, he worked on the Viking Mars Lander
and other space vehicles. Evan became Boeing’s director of helicopter

The Class of 2001
GRADUATE ALUMNI
J. Edward Lundy *40
J. Edward Lundy, a retired Ford Motor Co. executive who joined the company
with Robert McNamara and eight other World War II veterans known as the
Whiz Kids, died Oct. 2, 2007. He was 92.
Lundy graduated from the University of Iowa in 1936, and then studied
economics at Princeton. Without the formality of a graduate degree, he
was hired by the University to teach economics from 1940 through 1942,
when he resigned to join the Army Air Force (where he rose from private
to major).
In 1946, the Whiz Kids offered their services to the young Henry Ford
II, whose Ford Motor Co. hadn’t made a profit in years. The company
then prospered, with Robert McNamara becoming Ford’s president in
1960 (in 1961 President Kennedy appointed him Secretary of Defense).
Lundy, meanwhile, had changed automotive finance from simple accounting
to an important tool for managing and forecasting. According to a Ford
spokesman, some of his financial rules are still referred to as “Lundyisms.”
Lundy became executive vice president and CFO in 1967, retired in 1979,
and remained on the board of directors until 1985.
Lundy was a member of the Princeton Club of Detroit. He had no known
survivors.
Paul F. Norton *52
Paul F. Norton, an emeritus professor and founder of the University
of Massachusetts’ art department, died Aug. 26, 2007, after a short
period of declining health. He was 90.
Norton majored in mathematics at Oberlin College, and served in the
Navy from 1942 to 1946. In 1947, he received an M.F.A., and, in 1952,
a Ph.D. in art from Princeton. He then joined the art department of Pennsylvania
State University.
In the late 1950s, the University of Massachusetts in Amherst hired
him to establish and head an art department. He successfully developed
a department that gave opportunities for artists and art historians to
teach and for students to learn from, and work with, teachers of high
quality. In addition to many scholarly articles, Norton wrote books on
architecture, and after his retirement at age 76, one on stained glass
windows in Rhode Island churches.
Norton excelled at sports his entire life. He coached the Amherst College
women’s squash team for many years, and assisted with the men’s
team. He was still playing tennis three months before his death.
Norton is survived by Alison, his wife of 65 years; two daughters; and
six grandchildren. A son predeceased him in 2001.
