Princeton University Class of 1966We will post memorials, classmate memories, obituaries, and other information as it is received. The class Facebook page is an excellent place to post memories, and you will often find news of a classmate’s death on Facebook. You can help by contacting webmaster John Hart (jmhart62@gmail.com).
In all cases of recent classmate deaths, please contact me (jmhart62@gmail.com) directly if you would like to be notified of funeral and memorial service plans. These plans are often made some time after the death. I'll also post the information on this page as it becomes available.
