HERBERT WELLS FOEDISCH ’38

Herb died Jan. 18, 2008, at his California home.

Herb was born in Germantown, Pa., and graduated from Germantown Academy, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. At Princeton, he was on the boxing, 150-pound football, and lacrosse teams. He was an All-American defenseman in lacrosse.

Herb belonged to Cap and Gown, majored in psychology, and graduated with honors. He roomed all four years with Jack Holton and junior and senior years together with Bill Sayen.

After graduation, Herb joined Philadelphia’s 1st Cavalry troop. At the outbreak of World War II, he enlisted in the Navy and served as a lieutenant aboard destroyers.

After the war, Herb married Margaret “Marge” Maroewich of San Francisco and returned to Philadelphia to become vice president at Provident Trust. In 1962 he moved to San Francisco, where he became senior vice president at the Bank of California. Herb was an avid sailor and competed in sailboat racing in the San Francisco Bay area.

He was predeceased by Marge and their son, George. He is survived by his son, Herbert Jr.; his daughter, Lane Norton; seven grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. To them all, the class extends its deepest sympathy.

The Class of 1938

WOLFGANG KURT HERMANN PANOFSKY ’38

Wolfgang “Pief” Panofsky, one of the youngest but most distinguished members of the class, died of heart failure Sept. 24, 2007, in California.

Born in Berlin, the son of art critic Erwin Panofsky, he came to America in 1934 and became a citizen in 1942. At Princeton he was a member of Sigma Xi and graduated with highest honors in physics and membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Thereafter, he studied, researched, and taught at Cal Tech (where he earned a Ph.D. in 1942), Berkeley, and Stanford.

After acting as a consultant to the Manhattan Project during World War II, his advice to the State Department in the 1950s on monitoring radioactive fallout from atmospheric nuclear-bomb tests contributed to the signing of an international treaty banning such tests. No “Star Wars” advocate, Pief always believed in peace through international cooperation.

At Stanford, Pief improved the design and operation of the existing linear accelerator, which earned him the directorship of Stanford’s prestigious accelerator research program. Later, he built a more powerful linear accelerator that led to the discovery of new forms of matter. Pief published more than 60 scientific papers during his brilliant career and received numerous honors.

Pief is survived by his wife, Adele DuMond Panofsky; five children; 11 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. His brother, Hans ’38, predeceased him. The class extends deepest sympathy to the family.

FREDERICK LEONARD TAEUSCH ’38

Fred died Dec. 6, 2007, in St. Augustine, Fla., following hip surgery necessitated by a fall in early November.

Fred was born in Hollywood, Calif., and graduated from Phillips Andover Academy. He entered Princeton in 1934, but pursuing his passion for the sea, he received his appointment in 1935 to the Naval Academy in Annapolis and graduated with the academy’s Class of 1939.

At the Naval Academy, Fred majored in engineering and rowed crew. A submariner during World War II, Fred sailed his own sloop until well after his retirement from the Navy in 1967.

After retiring, Fred and his wife, Cynthia, moved to Jacksonville, Fla., where he joined the administration of Jacksonville Episcopal High School, serving initially as provost and later as assistant headmaster.

SAMUEL WARREN SEEMAN ’44

Sam, a longtime resident of Wallingford, Pa., died Oct. 19, 2007, in Maryland. He was 84.

Born in St. Louis, he chose Princeton over Penn and Harvard because we offered the best scholarship, but he forever loved us. He majored in politics, played intramural sports, joined Orange Key, and was president of Prospect Club. His roommates included Sid Howell and Bob Wood.

Sam graduated in 1944, served briefly as a military train escort, and began his career with the Pennsylvania Railroad. He continued to work for its successors, Penn Central and Conrail, before retiring as director of personnel and labor relations.

“His life was about people, not things,” wrote a daughter. “His particular gift was setting examples for others,” added his son. Sam once stood in front of a house in a blue-collar Philadelphia suburb to ensure that, for the first time, an African-American could live in it, and he was stoned as a result. He enjoyed baseball (following first the Cards, then the Phillies), body surfing in the ocean, and defending the rights of the individual.

Sam’s wife, Ann, whom he cherished, died 20 years ago. One son, Samuel Jr. also predeceased him. Survivors include his son, Bruce; daughters Tina Hammond, Suzanne Hetzel, and Edith; six grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. We, too, honor his spirit.

The Class of 1944

JAMES IRA DE LOACHE ’46

James De Loache died Dec. 19, 2007, in Dallas, Texas, where he had lived his entire life.

He entered Princeton from Hotchkiss in June 1942. He joined the Naval Reserve that fall and was transferred to Cornell the following year. After his discharge in 1946, he returned to Princeton. However, after the third semester he returned to Dallas to join his father in the residential real-estate business, and in 1950 switched to running his mother’s extensive family farms.

Jimmy was active in many endeavors, including the oil business and business investments. One of his fun experiences was having a part in the development of Addison Airport in Dallas, which was the largest privately owned airport in the country at the time it was constructed. He never lost the love of flying he developed in the Navy, and owned and operated aircraft for more than 40 years. In addition to three homes in Texas, he had a founding interest in a ranch in Montana. He and his family enjoyed golf, hunting, fishing, and traveling.

Jimmy is survived by his wife of 57 years, Mary Frances Kennedy; five children; 15 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.

Sam entered Princeton in the V-12 program in the fall of 1942, majored in medieval history, and graduated cum laude and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

His first job — with the State Department’s Diplomatic Courier Service — took him throughout the Americas and the Middle East, most memorably to Cairo.

Following graduation, Harry spent one year at Harvard Law School, was married, and in 1949 joined the CIA, from which he retired in 1973. He served tours in Madrid, London, Rhodesia, and the Netherlands, and traveled widely in Europe and Latin America. He spent most of his summers in Maine and winters in Costa Rica. Only two months before his death, he joined the class’s cruise on the Mississippi.

Francis N. Iglehart ’47

Ike’s life was marked by notable public service.

Joining in the Army’s soon-aborted Army Specialized Training Program in ’43, he was abruptly transferred to combat in the European theater. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge, winning a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.

Returning to Princeton, he married Harriet Stokes in 1947, carried his first-born in the P-rade of 1948, and graduated in 1949. He then earned a law degree from the University of Maryland and settled into a Baltimore practice.

During the 1950s, Ike fought many battles for the integration of schools and against racial discrimination in restaurants and real estate. In the 1960s he chaired Baltimore’s Human Rights Commission and fought for affordable housing. In the 1970s he worked to preserve the rural character of his beloved Baltimore County from the ravages of indiscriminate development.

During these battles, Ike also fought successfully to recover from a life-threatening case of polio. In our 50th yearbook he reported that he was struggling against Parkinson’s disease by continuing to enjoy his great passions for fox hunting and sailing. He finally lost that battle Dec. 28, 2007.

Celebrating his rewarding life, and continuing loyalty to Princeton and ’47, we tender this tribute to Harriet and Ike’s four children.

The Class of 1947

Wallace D. Van Siclen ’47

Wally served with the Marines in the Pacific theater and rejoined our war-torn class in 1946.

Graduating in 1949 he took up graduate studies at Tulane, and met and married Evelyn Schroeder.

Wally’s field of graduate study — medieval English and old French poetry — provided him with a unique academic expertise that he never exploited. After a few years of teaching, he reversed his career course, joined the Newark office of Merrill Lynch, and moved to Fair Haven, N.J. During the long commute between rural Fair Haven and Newark, Wally honed his bridge skills by playing with Life Masters.

Retiring after 32 years as a securities officer, he enjoyed teaching his three daughters the art of sailing, both small-boat racing and blue-water cruising. Wally’s prowess as a sailor was recognized when he became commodore of Monmouth (N.J.) Boat Club. In later years he and Evelyn took up cruising to foreign countries — this time as “relaxed passengers on 800-foot ships.”

Wally died Nov. 6, 2007. His entries in all our yearbooks reflect his loyalty to fabulous ’47; his wonderful, wry humor; a love of family; and a happy, rewarding life. We extend warm wishes to Evelyn and her daughters.

The Class of 1947

Stephen Guild Kurtz ’48

Steve Kurtz, principal emeritus of Phillips Exeter Academy, died Jan. 24, 2008, of pancreatic cancer.

He will be remembered at Exeter for the faithfulness and the generosity with which he served the school. He facilitated the transition in the early days of coeducation and brought women into the mainstream of Exeter life.

Steve joined us by way of Stony Brook School on Long Island. He was a member of Prospect. He sang with the Nassoons, was president of the Glee Club, and graduated with a bachelor’s in history. He and Jeanne, daughter of Dean Francis Godolphin ’24 *29, were married in 1947 and produced a daughter and two sons.

Steve’s career was in academia. His Ph.D. was from Penn. He taught and coached at Kent School for five years before being appointed a Fulbright professor at Wabash College. At various times he was on the faculty of Hamilton College, William and Mary, and Columbia and also served as interim president of Athens College after his distinguished tenure at Exeter.

Our condolences are offered to Steve’s children, Sharon, Thomas, and Stephen, and four grandchildren on the death of a remarkable educator.

RUBIN CHARLES PITTMAN ’55

Rubin died Feb. 10, 2007, in the San Francisco Bay area, where he had a private medical (radiology) practice.

He came to Princeton from Alexander Hamilton High School in Brooklyn. Majoring in German, Rubin wrote his thesis on “The Shakespearean Influences on the Young Goethe.” Senior year he roomed with Jim and Bob Cochran, Clem Cohen ’56, and Charles Moskos ’56.

Rubin’s interests were broad — from opera to motorcycles, from social work to flying. Bob Cochran said, “Rube had a highly developed moral sense, a high intellect, and a questioning mind. He was dedicated to making life better for his race and for all.” His clubmate at Prospect, Paul Parham ’54, has fond memories of Rube’s cooperative attitude.

Rubin came back, for the first time, to our 50th, and enjoyed it thoroughly. He was as charming and entertaining as his entry in our 1955 at 50 class book. He was able to comment humorously about the admission of Princeton’s first African-American undergraduates, Rube being one of them. He was grateful for his Princeton experience, the professors he studied under, and the students with whom he associated, and especially for the broadening of his understanding and horizons.

The class extends deepest sympathy to his family, friends, and colleagues, and invites them to contact us as they deem appropriate.
