Michael Danielson

Princeton University political scientist Michael Danielson, who helped modernize the study of local government in the United States and abroad, died September 22, 2016 in Princeton. He was 82 years old.

Danielson, the B.C. Forbes Professor of Public Affairs, Emeritus, and professor of politics and public affairs, emeritus, joined the Princeton faculty in 1962 and transferred to emeritus status in 2005. Born in New York City, Danielson received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Rutgers University and his PhD from Princeton. From 1956 to 1959, he served as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force.

Danielson’s scholarship focused on urban policy and planning, with a particular interest in the politics of economic development. He also served the University as chair of the department of politics and associate dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, among many other posts.

Danielson’s best-known book, The Politics of Exclusion (1976), set the stage for analysis of the growing distinctions between cities and suburbs, said Paul Lewis, who earned his PhD from Princeton in 1994 and is now associate professor in the School of Politics and Global Studies at Arizona State University.

“The Politics of Exclusion was a thorough examination of the problem of the ‘exclusionary zoning’ of suburbia, through which many suburbs were able to remain exclusive upper- and middle-income enclaves in an era when the urban poor, particularly racial minorities, were seeking residential opportunities outside of segregated inner-city areas,” Lewis said.

In all, Danielson wrote 11 books, including Home Team: Professional Sports and the American Metropolis and Profit and Politics in Paradise: The Development of Hilton Head Island. He also wrote about growth in modern Turkey, regional development in New York and urban transportation.

Home Team, a critical examination of the relationship between cities and pro sports teams, helped launch a popular course Danielson taught in the latter part of his Princeton career on the political economy of sports.

Danielson, whose interest in sports went beyond his scholarship, brought famed sports announcer Howard Cosell to campus in 1992 to lecture on “Public Policy and Sports in American Life.” Former colleague Henry Bienen, later president of Northwestern University, recalled sharing many trips with Danielson to Princeton basketball games. With Lewis, Danielson shared a love for the long-suffering New York Mets.

Danielson was in high demand as an adviser for undergraduates’ senior theses, Lewis said.

“For years, Mike had a highly coveted corner office on the top floor of Robertson Hall, where students could sit on a comfortable sofa and take in a scenic vista of the campus while getting detailed advice on their papers or career options — and maybe even borrowing a book from the extensive collection in Mike’s office,” Lewis said.

Danielson is survived by his wife, Linda Danielson; daughter, Jessica Danielson; sons, Jeffrey and Matthew Danielson; sister, Holly Clevely; and brother, Peter Danielson.

Memorial donations may be made to HomeFront or the D&R Greenway Land Trust.

A memorial service was held earlier this month.

Venkatesan Swaminatha Perry

Venkatesan Swaminatha Perry died peacefully in his sleep at his long-time home in Princeton on Saturday, October 15. He was an accomplished researcher and scientist, a devoted and loving family man, and a kind and generous friend to the many people whose lives he touched. His ebullient personality drew out the best qualities of each person he met. He was 84 and lived a rich and varied life.

As a young man, he went from studying by kerosene lamp while growing up as a teenager in rural India, to helping develop the fuel-cell system that put the first man on the moon while he was also working on his doctorate at Columbia University.

Born in Govindarajapuram, a small village in Palghat, India, on April 28, 1932, he was the first child of Swaminathan and Thangammal Peruvemba. From humble beginnings in Palghat, he studied in the small local public schools and graduated with a Bachelor of Physics in 1952 from the Government Victoria College. Over the next four years, he completed his Bachelor of Engineering in metallurgy at Banaras Hindu University, where he was awarded a Gold Medal for outstanding academic achievement. He also played soccer and cricket while in school.

After graduating from Banaras, he worked for a year for Hindustan Steel in Rourkela, India, and was then sent to U.S. Steel in Pittsburgh for training. Fascinated by the opportunities in the United States, he decided to stay. He continued his education, earning a Masters degree from New York University and a PhD from Columbia.

Dr. Perry held several research and scientist roles over the years at Western Electric, General Cable, and Bell Communications Research. He was a pioneer in optical fiber and fuel cell technologies, with several patents to his credit.

He was also an avid skier and tennis player, and his infectious enthusiasm for both activities helped introduce many others to his two favorite sports.

Family was extremely important to Dr. Perry and he was very generous in helping his relatives both in the U.S. and India. He was instrumental in bringing his three brothers to the U.S. and getting them settled in their lives. He was truly a friend to his siblings and a father figure to their children.

His brothers Seshan and his wife, Lalitha; Balu and his wife, Radha; and Natarajan and his wife, Sudha; all live in the U.S. His only sister, Kamakshi, passed away in 2014.

In 1991, after a lengthy and romantic courtship, he married Elizabeth Stuyvesant Pyne in a ceremony on the island of Kauai surrounded by family. They were steadfast bridge partners and great friends, and enjoyed traveling together, with India and Brazil being two of their favorite destinations. Dr. Perry was much loved by his wife’s three sons, Russell, Lawrence, and John, to whom he quickly became a trusted friend and father figure.

His stepsons will never forget how “P.V.”, as they called him as young boys, could seamlessly transition from a fellow backyard Wiffle Ball fanatic to a skilled teacher helping them master their nightly studies, particularly in math and the sciences.

When his three stepsons started raising families of their own, Dr. Perry embraced the role of grandfather and was adored by his 10 grandchildren. He was a devoted husband who lovingly cared for his wife in her later years. Mrs. Perry passed away at their home in 2015 with Dr. Perry by her side.

He is survived by his three brothers and their families and his three stepsons and their families.

A celebration of Dr. Perry’s life will be held in the coming months in Princeton. His ashes will be scattered at his Princeton home, at his wife’s ancestral churchyard in Garrison, N.Y., and in the Ganges River in India.

Phyllis Bergquist Billington

Phyllis Bergquist Billington died peacefully at the age of 88 in Los Angeles, California of congestive heart failure. Born in Chicago, Illinois to John and Gerda Bergquist, she lived most of her adult life in Princeton, before moving to California in 2013.

Phyllis was the beloved wife for 65 years of David P. Billington; the loving mother of David, Jr.; Elizabeth (Donald); Jane (Johnson); Philip (Ninik), Stephen (Miriam); and Sarah (Peter); and the proud grandmother of Zoë, Timothy, Susannah, Lucy, Francesca, Rachel, Roy, Daisy, Anna, Clara, and Bram. She was also dearly loved by many in-laws, cousins, nieces, and nephews from the Bergquist and Billington families, and friends from childhood on. Phyllis was preceded in death by her parents, and by her brothers Howard and Roy, and her sisters Beatrice and Janet.

Phyllis was a musician all her life. She began playing the piano at an early age, studying first with Theodora Sturkow Ryder. She was the outstanding graduate of Chicago’s Nicholas Senn High School in winter 1945, elected to the National Honor Society and the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper. Majoring in philosophy and music, she graduated from Northwestern University in 1949, Phi Beta Kappa, and outstanding graduate of the College of Liberal Arts. Phyllis wrote for many Northwestern publications, and she was a member of the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. While still in college, she began modeling, appearing in local and national publications, and winning the 1948 New York Heart Fund Dream Girl competition.

After graduation she moved to New York City to study piano with Dora Zaslavsky at the Manhattan School of Music. She also continued modeling, with the John Robert Powers Agency, and graced the covers of McCall’s, Colliers, Look Magazine, The Ladies Home Journal, and The American Magazine, among others.

In 1950 Phyllis received a Fulbright Scholarship to study both piano and harpsichord at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Belgium. Fellow Fulbright Scholar David fell in love with Phyllis at first sight, and they were married in Chicago in 1951. Before settling in New Jersey, Phyllis and David spent their first year of marriage in Ghent, Belgium, continuing their piano and engineering studies. They lived in Glen Ridge, New Jersey from 1952 to 1960.

Phyllis’s life in Princeton was filled with music and her six children. She co-founded the University League Piano Group and was an active member of the Music Club of Princeton. She appeared in recital at Princeton University for the Friends of Music, in concerts at the Trenton State Museum, and overseas in performances in Belgium and Switzerland. Her “Illustrated Performances,” lecture recitals on classical composers, took her to audiences in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. She shared her passion for piano music, her sensitivity, and her scholarship with the Princeton Adult School, college concert series, libraries, retirement communities, community groups, and fellow music lovers, including her family. Her piano studio nurtured countless children and adults for over 60 years, introducing them to the expressive power and emotional fulfillment of music; and she was deeply enriched by continuing her own studies with Karl Ulrich Schnabel in New York City from 1977 to 2001.

Phyllis appreciated the many opportunities she and David had to travel, especially in Europe — opportunities to gather material and background for her lecture recitals, to meet cousins in Sweden, to visit with old friends, to experience other cultures and histories. She shared her memories of these trips, of her early life, of her family life and ancestry, and of her experience as a piano teacher and student herself in written memoirs, detailed photo albums, and scrapbooks. Although music was the guiding force in her interior life, she cherished her training in philosophy. “I never could have gotten through life without it,” she wrote. “Philosophy taught me to analyze, to see what was important, to keep my mind open but not be afraid of convictions.” Among the last words she spoke testify to her conviction that music was the expression of the love and emotion in her life: listening to a beloved Schubert sonata, she said, “pour your heart into it!”

Phyllis was a devoted member of Christ Episcopal Church, Glen Ridge, and Trinity Church, Princeton.

A service in Phyllis’s memory will be held at Trinity Church on Wednesday, December 28th, 2016 at 2 p.m., followed by a reception in the Trinity Church Hall.

Memorial donations may be made to Trinity Church, 33 Mercer Road, Princeton, NJ 08540 and to the Music Club of Princeton Scholarship Fund, c/o J. Rogers Woolston, 229 Walnut Lane, Princeton, NJ 08540-3459.

Patricia Ann Connors

Patricia Ann Connors died peacefully in her sleep on September 13, 2016. She was an early feminist, an adventurous traveler, an elegant dresser, a fabulous cook, a tireless advocate for social justice, and a generous and patient mother, who taught her three children the importance of a robust sense of humor to meet life’s absurdities. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.

Born in New York City in 1933, Patricia, or Pat as she was known, was a both a product of her age and also demonstrated a fierce resistance to the norms that circumscribed women’s lives. Pat was a nationally ranked tennis player in her youth, and played in the U.S. Tennis Championships at Forest Hills at a teenager. Instead of continuing her tennis career, Pat attended the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, where, her children were recently surprised to learn, she had also been the president of her sorority. She was that kind of girl.

Upon graduation, she received her first professional job as a reporter for the Newark News, where she was assigned the “Society News” and “Women’s” column — because, this being the 1940s, those were the only jobs open to highly educated female journalists. Her children suspect this was the origin of her lifelong commitment to the women’s equal rights movement. At her next job, at the New York World Telegram and Sun, she covered politics — an interest she cultivated in both her professional and personal life. She met and married her future ex-husband while working on the paper, and moved to Philadelphia, put her husband through medical school, started a family, all while commuting to Manhattan to work as a senior researcher for the New York State Democratic Committee.

Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Pat combined her personal commitment to social justice as an early campaigner for the Equal Rights Amendment (she remembers the state of Florida as being particularly unreceptive to the idea) and in Princeton, where she relocated with her family in 1975. She later became an active member of the Princeton Women’s Action Group, with whom she made several trips to Nicaragua and Cuba in the 1980s.

Pat earned an MA in organizational psychology from Columbia University and then returned to
graduate school to receive a PhD in clinical psychology in her mid-60s. Ms. Connors worked as a psychologist for death row inmates at Trenton State Prison, and also had a private practice in Princeton, until she retired in 2013.

She is survived by her children, Caroline Cleaves of Princeton; Christopher Cleaves of Fairfax Station, Virginia; and Henderson James Cleaves of Washington, D.C.; her grandchildren, Sam and Ava Tabeart, Fiona, and Liam Cleaves, and Annika Cleaves.

Her family warmly invites all those who knew her and loved her to a memorial service at Murray Dodge Hall on Saturday, November 5 at noon to 2 p.m.

Lucien Davis Yokana

Lucien Davis Yokana, 89, of Princeton, New Jersey and Biddeford Pool, Maine died peacefully surrounded by his family Thursday, September 29, 2016 in Princeton.

Lucien graduated from Princeton University in 1948 with a BSE in engineering. In 1949, he married Anne D. Guthrie at Trinity Episcopal Church in Princeton, and they raised five children and lived happily until her death in 2012.

Lucien’s career started at Johnson & Johnson and Hartig Machine. In 1959, he founded Sterling Extruder Corporation, which became one of the largest and most innovative plastics companies in the industry. Sterling merged with Baker Perkins in 1986. After the merger, Lucien retained the Davis Electric division (later Merritt Davis) where he was chairman until the company was sold in 2005. He was a pioneer and a respected leader in the plastics industry, held numerous related patents, and set a precedent that still stands today regarding trade secrets in a case that was heard by the United States Supreme Court. He continued to serve on numerous boards and consult in the plastics field up until his final days.

He was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church for nearly 70 years and served as Senior Warden of St. Martin’s in the Field Episcopal Church, a summer chapel at Biddeford Pool, Maine. He was a member of Bedens Brook Club, Pretty Brook Tennis Club, the Nassau Club, the Mill Reef Club in Antigua, and the Princeton Club of N.Y. In addition, Lucien was a member and past president of the Abenakee Club and the Pool Beach Association in Biddeford Pool.

Lucien loved music and a fine cocktail with friends. He will be remembered as a consummate and gracious gentleman with a quick wit, outstanding sense of humor, and uncanny ability to tell a remarkably good joke. Lucien will also be remembered for his unparalleled devotion to his wife, family, friends, and the Princeton Class of 1948 where he served as a class officer. He participated in Princeton reunions and the P-rade every year from 1948 through 2016.

He is survived by his brother Andre Yokana; two sons, Alexander D. Guthrie and Lucien S.Y. Guthrie; three daughters, Ariane G. Peixoto, Isabelle G. Yokana and Alice G. Barfield; and seven grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, November 10, 2016 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Princeton.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Trinity Episcopal Church.

Stuart Allen Altmann

Stuart Allen Altmann, age 86, passed away in Princeton, New Jersey on October 13, 2016 from complications of Alzheimer’s disease. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri and grew up in Los Angeles, California. He was both a scientist and an artist, working as a field biologist for his professional life and pursuing ceramics expertly as an avocation. He earned degrees from UCLA and Harvard University, launching his lifelong studies of primate behavior. What set Altmann apart from his peers was his ability to frame problems conceptually, use mathematical models to make strong predictions, and then draw on his natural history insights and systematic observations to test them.

In the summer of 1958, he met his future wife Jeanne when they were both working for the NIH, and they married in 1959. He was a professor at the University of Alberta, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, University of Chicago, and Princeton University. In 1963–1964, Stuart and Jeanne Altmann made their first trip to Amboseli, Kenya, to study the baboons that would later become the subject of one of the world’s best-known long-term field studies of primates. Stuart and Jeanne were fortunate to spend decades working together in a rich, intellectual partnership.

Stuart approached his avocations with a passion and an attention to detail. He got equal pleasure from designing a home as from baking muffins to share with family and friends. He started an apple orchard on the family property in West Virginia, chronicling the taste and productivity of dozens of varieties and making gallons of cider.

Stuart’s aesthetic sense was strong and true, imbuing all his artistic pursuits with grace and style. Throughout his life Stuart loved sculpture and ceramics. He insisted that art be functional and yet also cared deeply about the aesthetics of design and form. He loved throwing pots and continually honed his skills and learned new techniques.

With his camera and artistic eye, he captured beautiful moments in the lives of each of his grandchildren, whom he enjoyed immensely. Listening to music and singing brought Stuart great pleasure, even in his last days. He loved a wide range of music from Bach to Coltrane, the deep melodious voice of Paul Robeson, and the drums of West Africa.

He was a captivating storyteller — stories of his adventures in the woods and travels around the world, and beloved bedtime stories for his children and grandchildren.

He will be sadly and deeply missed by Jeanne, his wife of 57 years; his son Michael Altmann of Minneapolis, Minnesota; his daughter Rachel Altmann of Portland, Oregon; grandchildren Elliot, Alice, and Benjamin; sister Ruth Nebron of Van Nuys, California; sister-in-law Grace Lynch and brother-in-law Tom Lynch of Rock Cave West Virginia; and many friends, co-workers, and associates. A memorial service will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday, October 20th in the Atrium at Guyot Hall, Princeton University. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Fanconia Anemia Research Fund (http://fanconi.org) or the Penland School of Crafts (www.penland.org).

David F. Ruiz

David F. Ruiz passed away suddenly, unexpectedly but peacefully, on August 15, 2016 from cardiac arrhythmia while at his beloved work place, The International Student House (ISH) of Washington D.C. He was 49 years old.

Born in New York City, David grew up in Princeton, attending Princeton Regional Schools from Kindergarten until his High School graduation in 1984. David was an honors student at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst majoring in history. David later went on to receive a Master Degree in international affairs from George Washington University in Washington D.C. During his time as a graduate student David lived at the International Student House. After a short stint working as a researcher, David returned to the International Student House in 1996 taking a position as their business manager. However, in time, David’s role grew far beyond that.

The inception for ISH of Washington, D.C. began in 1934 when a small group of Quakers explored how they might make a contribution to peace and a better understanding among people of diverse national backgrounds. They believed that contributions to real peace could result from contacts between ordinary people, particularly young adults. This was a mission that was dear to David and, in his role at ISH, David became a powerful global ambassador and friend to people from every corner of the world. His kindness, and gentle soul touched the lives of countless individuals. Through the friendships he made David also had the opportunity to travel around the world extensively including through Europe, Asia, and the Americas; over the years every page of his passports became full of stamps from different lands.

David was known for his gentle and humble demeanor as well as his quiet but dry and sarcastic wit. He was also well known for his epic walking abilities and would regularly walk many miles at a stretch. He even ran the New York City Marathon in 2003. In his spare time David was an avid movie-goer attending nearly every opening night showing. He was also a staunch supporter of the arts, attending nearly every large production and independent theater performance throughout the D.C. area. David was also a supporter of several causes including the Human Rights Campaign and the Democratic Party.

David leaves behind his mother, Rosalia Ruiz of Princeton; his father Teofilo Ruiz (and spouse Scarlett Freund) of Los Angeles, California; his brother Daniel Ruiz (and spouse Maria Bruno Ruiz) as well as a niece, Sofia and nephew, Mateo who adored him. David also leaves behind his grandmother, aunt, his five cousins, and their families as well as many, many good friends.

A well-attended memorial service was held for David on September 10, 2016 at The International Student House. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up in David’s honor to support the mission of The International Student House. Contributions in his name can be made to the International Student House, 1825 R Street NW, Washington DC 20009.

Elizabeth S. Ettinghausen

June 29, 2016

Obituaries 6/29/16

Elizabeth S. Ettinghausen

Elizabeth S. Ettinghausen, a scholar of early Christian and Byzantine art as well as an authority on Islamic Art, died peacefully in Princeton on June 12 after a brief illness, weeks short of her 98th birthday.

Even in her later years and as little as one-and-a-half years ago, she traveled extensively for art historical pursuits on four continents including Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. She led museum tours as a lecturer and guide in the Middle East, Central Asia, and North Africa for the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.), Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, Mass.), Asia Society (N.Y.) and Princeton University Art Museum. Two of her trips were Mediterranean cruises under the auspices of the Harvard Alumni Association to study Moorish Spain and Western and Northern African historical sites.

She was a speaker at numerous international conferences presenting on the Middle East, Central Asia, and North Africa on subjects related to the characteristic features of Islamic Art and architecture as well as on the region’s history and archaeology. Her presentations were delivered as independent lectures or as a member of panels of speakers at conferences in Switzerland, Turkey, Iran (at the First International Conference and Exhibition on Iranian Carpets by invitation of the Iranian government), and Germany as well as at various meetings in the U.S. including the Metropolitan Museum (N.Y.), Kevorkian Center of Middle Eastern Studies at NYU, Art Department at Harvard University (Mass.), Near Eastern Center and the School of Architecture of the University of Washington, Cincinnati Art Museum, Seattle Art Museum, Frye Museum of Seattle, Program in Near Eastern Studies and the Art Museum at Princeton University, Spokane Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, American Friends of Aphrodisias (Turkey) and at various university alumni associations and rug and textile societies throughout the U.S.

She held many honorary positions including Fellow for Life and member of the Islamic Art Department Visiting Committee at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, member of the Collections Committee of the Harvard University Art Museum, Corresponding Member of the German Archaeological Institute, Honorary Trustee of the Textile Museum (Washington, D.C.), Member of the Directorate and Program Committee of the American Turkish Society (N.Y.) and board member of several organizations including the Princeton Research Forum, Princeton Middle East Society, Hajji Baba Club (N.Y.) and Near Eastern Art Research Center (Washington, D.C.). She was also a past president of the Princeton Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, the American Friends of Aphrodisias, and the Princeton Rug Society. She had a lifelong interest in music and served as a founding member of the Princeton chapter of the American Recorder Society and sang for many years in the Trinity Church (Princeton) adult choir. For many years, she was an active docent at the Princeton University Art Museum.

She was an active researcher in many locations beginning in the 1950s at the Middle East Institute (Washington, D.C.) where she arranged a traveling exhibition for the U.S. Information Agency (USIA) on “The Influence of the Near East on American Design” which was viewed in many Near Eastern and North African countries. She was later a visiting fellow of the German Archaeological Institute (Berlin, Germany). In the 1980s she was a member of the staff at the NYU-sponsored excavations at Aphrodisias in Western Turkey where she organized and catalogued various pottery lamps from the Classical and Byzantine periods. Many of these objects were then exhibited with her oversight and guidance at the Aphrodisias Museum in Turkey. She served as a research fellow at the Program in Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University during which time she organized and curated an exhibition on “The Near Eastern City since 1800” presented at the Princeton University Art Museum in 1970.

In earlier years, she was an analyst at the U.S. Department of State in the 1940s and, in 1943-1945, a junior fellow at Harvard University’s Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C. There, she examined the Byzantine architecture of Constantinople/Istanbul focusing on Byzantine glazed tiles. It was at Dumbarton Oaks that she met and later married in 1945 Dr. Richard Ettinghausen, then Curator of Near Eastern Art at the Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution and later the Consultative Chairman of Islamic Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Hagop Kevorkian Professor of Islamic Art at the Institute of Fine Arts at NYU. Having predeceased her in 1979, German-born Richard Ettinghausen was a path-breaking scholar of Islamic Art whose many articles and important books charted new directions for the study of his chosen field which were to foster the universal acclaim in which the art of the Islamic world is held today.

Throughout her adult life and even in her last weeks, she enjoyed contact with her family and numerous friends and colleagues in art and music from around the U.S. and many foreign countries. She had an especially engaging manner as she would interact, if possible, in the native tongue of her acquaintances, whether by her fluency in German, French, Turkish, Persian (or English) or by her knowledge of a few phrases in many other languages. Whereas her conversations centered on serious subjects such as recently opened museum exhibitions, the latest musical concerts or current events, she graced the discussions with her sense of humor while at the same time adding her special critique or offering her spontaneous advice on the topic at hand.

Born in Vienna, Austria in 1918, Elizabeth Ettinghausen grew up in a medical family including her physician father, brother, and sister. She studied at the University of Vienna (Austria), but with the rising Nazi movement, she and her family fled to Turkey. There, at the University of Istanbul, her father became director of the Institute of Radiology and Biophysics and she completed her PhD in Early Christian and Byzantine Art in 1943. In the same year, she and her family immigrated to the U.S. by convoy across the Atlantic arriving through Ellis Island, N.Y.

In addition to her husband, she is predeceased by her brother Brigadier General George Sgalitzer, MD, US Army Medical Corps, Ret. and her sister, Gerda Sgalitzer, MD.

She is survived by her two sons, Stephen (Beth) Ettinghausen, MD, a surgical oncologist in Rochester, N.Y.; and Thomas (Burul) Ettinghausen, Senior Advisor, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; as well as four grandchildren (Zachary and Maxfield Ettinghausen of Rochester, N.Y.; Layla and Kai Ettinghausen of London, U.K.) and five nieces and nephews.

A Memorial Service is being planned for the Fall of 2016 in Princeton. At Elizabeth’s request, donations may be made in her memory to her other passion — the environment — including the Audubon Society, The Wilderness Society, and the Environmental Defense Fund.

Jane Feng-Chen Wung

Jane Feng-Chen Wung of Princeton died on May 22, 2016 at Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson, New York. She is survived by daughter Selene Wung Kaye, son-in-law Andrew John Sherman Paton, and grandson Beckett Shengqi Paton-Kaye of Spencertown, New York; and sisters Mu-Lan Wung, Jing-Fang Wung, Echo Shuang-Chi Wung, and Chia-Mei Wung.

Jane was born in Fengjie, Szechuan Province, China in 1946 after her parents (Wung Shengqi of Zhejiang Province and Mao Wenying of Hangzhou) and three older sisters narrowly survived the Japanese bombing of China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. When the Communists took over China in 1949, her father took the family to Taiwan, leaving behind their relatives and most of what they owned. The Nationalist navy provided thousands who fled with temporary dwellings, where the refugees expected to remain for several months until the Communists could be defeated and they could return home. That day never came.

Growing up in Taiwan with very little, and losing both of her parents by the age of 19, Jane had to work several jobs in order to pay her own way through school. Breaking away from the usual expectation for girls at the time to complete high school and become teachers, nurses, or secretaries, Jane decided to go to college, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in English Language and Literature from Soochow University in Taipei. She came to the United States in 1973 to attend the University of Arizona in Tucson, where she earned a Master’s Degree in international relations. She married Kim Kaye of Los Angeles, California in 1973. In 1975 they moved to Princeton where their daughter Selene was born in 1979. They were divorced in 1985.

Jane built an impressive, decades-long career at Educational Testing Service (ETS) in Princeton. Beginning as an administrative assistant in 1978, she worked her way up through the ranks, becoming a staff associate, manager, director, and eventually Chair of the Board of Review in the Legal Division. Over the course of her 33-year career, she became an expert in test security issues and shared her expertise with educational professionals from countries around the world, including both Taiwan and China.

Jane had broad interests and many passions, chief among them travel and food. She had an endless curiosity about other places and cultures, and over the years she traveled to countries all over Europe, Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. She was known by many for her wonderful home-style Chinese cooking, which she learned in childhood by watching her mother, and through which she expressed her deep love and care for her family.

In the last decade of her life, Jane suffered from a number of serious health issues, mostly stemming from a genetic kidney disease. Refusing to be defined or confined by her condition, she lived life to the fullest until the very end. Even as her health declined, she set out on new adventures, traveling the Silk Road in China in 2006 and to the French Riviera in 2014.

Jane will be remembered for her fierce independence, discerning tastes, and tender heart, and will be celebrated by her family for years to come through the cooking of her favorite dishes and the passion for travel that she instilled in all of us.

A memorial service to remember Jane will be held in Princeton on Saturday, August 20.

He attended Brooklyn College from 1953 until 1957, when he transferred to Queens College where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1957 and was the recipient of the Robert S. Woodworth Medal in Psychology. He met Barbara (Bobbie) there and they married in 1958. He received a PhD in clinical psychology from Harvard University in 1962 after interning at the Boston VA Hospital.

Upon the graduation of the initial class of students in 1973, Dr. Pervin became a professor of psychology at Livingston, from which he retired as professor emeritus in 2004.

Dr. Pervin was the author or editor of eight books, one or another was subsequently translated into eight foreign languages. He was the founding editor of Psychological Inquiry, one of the leading journals in the field. His textbook on personality psychology has been in use for over 30 years and is now in its 13th edition. Throughout his professional career he also conducted a private practice in psychotherapy.

Following his retirement, Larry did volunteer work with the Red Cross and Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, served as a consultant to Princeton House, part of the Princeton Health Care System, and reflecting his fervent fandom, wrote and published A History of New York’s Football Giants. He was a member of the Old Guard and attended many stimulating lectures at Princeton University.

As proud as he was of his many professional accomplishments, it was family that was especially important to him. He and his dearly loved wife of 58 years and their two dearly loved sons loved to travel. As a family they took many trips, including a cross-country trip that took them to many national parks and an excursion to Scandinavia and the Soviet Union. He and Bobbie took great pleasure in fulfilling her dream of visiting all seven continents.

Dr. Pervin is survived by Bobbie and their sons David and Levi, and their dog Riley. He is predeceased by his parents, Mary and Murray Pervin, his sister Anita Pervin, and his dear friends Van Becker, Ken Gould, Jerome Rose, and Irving Sigel.

Ann Montgomery Brower

Ann Montgomery Brower, model, writer, artist, gourmet cook, mother of five, and grandmother of five, died at age 83 in her home in Goleta, California, on June 4, 2016.

Ann was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on June 17, 1932. When she was 8 years old her father took a job as classics professor at Miami University of Ohio. Ann, who longed to go away to college, instead stayed at home in Oxford, Ohio and attended Miami.

After graduation, her wanderlust took her directly to Paris, France, where her life’s adventure began. While looking for work as a writer, the 5-foot-11 Ann was introduced through a friend to a photographer. The results of that first photo shoot, in which she modeled a mink coat, graced the cover of L’Art et La Mode. She then worked for two years, modeling the first post-war collection of Coco Chanel and appearing in a Balmain gown for a Bob Hope USO television special filmed in London.

During her time in Paris, she met her future husband, writer, and then Rhodes Scholar, Brock Brower. After a year-long courtship across the English Channel, Brock and Ann were married at Oxford University’s Merton Chapel in the U.K. in 1956. After brief residences in New York City and Chapel Hill, N.C., where their first child, a son, was born, they moved in 1960 to Princeton, where their next three daughters were born.

From 1961 to 1962, Ann wrote profiles of local artists, writers, and educators for the Princeton Packet. After the births of her third and fourth children, she put her own writing aside to meet the demands of child-rearing and to support her husband’s journalism career. The ensuing years were devoted to raising her children, mastering the art of French cooking a la Julia Child and hosting elaborate dinner parties for other writers and artists living in Princeton.

In 1969, Ann and Brock moved their brood to London for a year when Brock was assigned to the Time-Life London bureau. Soon after arriving in London, Ann discovered she was pregnant with her last child, who was born at Queen Charlotte’s Hospital, one of the oldest maternity hospitals in Europe, in May 1970.

Ann was also an avid tennis player and fierce competitor. After returning to the United States in the fall of 1970, she began playing tennis almost daily, a practice she continued into her 70s, finding tennis partners no matter where Brock’s work took them.

In 1975, Ann and Brock moved once more to Washington, D.C. where Ann began a career selling real estate. After three years, they returned to Princeton, where Ann continued to sell real estate, play tennis, and shepherd her children through college and early adulthood.

When their youngest child graduated from high school and started college, Brock took a job as a speechwriter for Attorney General Richard Thornburgh and they moved again to Washington, D.C. Looking for an outlet for her creative energies, Ann took up watercolor painting, producing beautiful, detailed still lifes of bearded iris, roses, lilies, hydrangeas, and more. She always painted groups of flowers, depicting them as belonging to and amongst one another, a reflection of her social nature. She occasionally sold her pieces at art fairs and also created a line of greeting cards with them.

In 2008 Ann self-published a memoir, Another Me, about her years in Paris. She kept at her art into her 80s, finishing a poignant, nuanced oil portrait of Brock about two years before he died in 2014. After about a decade in Norwich, Vermont, Ann and Brock spent their last years together in the Santa Barbara, California area. There, Ann was able to watch her adored grandchildren surf, play baseball, play piano recitals, dance in the Nutcracker and more.

Ann is survived by her brother, Henry C. Montgomery III, sister, Virginia Melin, as well as her five children — Montgomery Clayton Brower, Emily Brower Auchard, Elizabeth Brower White, Margaret Brower Elkins, and Alison Nelson Brower — and five grandchildren, Gabe Brower, Brock and Melissa Auchard, and Colin and Caitlin White.

A memorial service will be held at All Saints-by-the-Sea in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday, July 2, at 11 a.m.

Joseph Peter Zawadsky

Dr. Zawadsky (January 16, 1930 – June 25, 2016) passed away the morning of June 25, 2016, in his cherished home in Princeton. He was surrounded by his beloved wife of 63 years — who was his high school sweetheart — and his devoted family.

Dr. Zawadsky was born on January 16, 1930 in South River, New Jersey. His father, who immigrated from Russia at the age of 16, and mother, a dressmaker, impressed upon each of their children the importance of education — a lesson well-learned by the Zawadsky children. Dr. Zawadsky graduated from Princeton University in 1951 and from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1955. His older brother, John, graduated from Rutgers University, and went on to earn his PhD in philosophy from Harvard University. Dr. Zawadsky’s younger sister, Marley, attended Smith College.

Dr. Zawadsky’s roots in Princeton began when he, a stand-out South River High School football player, caught the eye of a Princeton University scout during the annual South River versus New Brunswick game. It was also in high school that Dr. Zawadsky’s attention was caught by a stunning cheerleader, Lynn, who quickly became the love of his life and his devoted wife in 1952.

While at Princeton University, Dr. Zawadsky excelled academically and athletically. He was a proud member of the Princeton University football team and fondly remembered his days playing beside his Heisman trophy winning teammate, Dick Kazmaier, on the undefeated 1950 team. After graduating from Princeton University, Dr. Zawadsky attended medical school at Columbia University and residency at the New York Orthopaedic Hospital. From there, he joined the Air Force in 1956, where he served as a Captain and physician.

After his discharge from the Air Force, Dr. Zawadsky returned home to South River and opened a general medical practice. Although he enjoyed treating patients and delivering babies, Dr. Zawadsky’s true calling was orthopaedic surgery. He pursued this dream by completing his orthopaedic residency at Columbia University. On July 1, 1964, he founded his orthopaedic practice, called University Orthopaedic Associates, in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Dr. Zawadsky was an exceptional orthopaedic surgeon. He performed the first hip replacement surgery in New Jersey, and was known by his colleagues and staff as the “Godfather of Orthopaedic Surgery” in New Jersey. He served as the orthopaedic consultant to Princeton University during the tenure of three University presidents, four athletic directors and five football coaches. He was the team doctor for Rutgers University and treated many professional athletes. He received countless prestigious awards, including the Distinguished American Award of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame in 1974, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Thomas A. Brady Community Service Award, and the Doctor of Sports Medicine- Doctor of the Year Award. He was the academic chair of the orthopaedic department at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, an orthopaedic consultant to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, a vice president of the American Orthopaedic Association, a National Orthopaedic Board Examiner, and the chief of orthopaedic surgery at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick until his retirement in 1998.

Dr. Zawadsky founded the UMDNJ Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program in 1979. Among Dr. Zawadsky’s most cherished professional accomplishments is that he trained 74 orthopaedic residents. Dr. Zawadsky was renowned for both his surgical prowess and his bedside manner, as he treated each patient with equal doses of medical attention and comic relief.

Dr. Zawadsky’s greatest accomplishment, however, was his family. He and his beloved wife had six children and 15 grandchildren. His family spent summers together at his home in Mantoloking, New Jersey, enjoying the sun and surf. He was an avid fisherman and golfer, passions also shared by his children. The family routinely travelled for fishing and golfing trips to Dr. Zawadsky’s home in Ocean Reef, Key Largo, Florida. He instilled in each of his children and grandchildren a commitment to education, hard-work, integrity, and family. He was cherished by the family he left behind, including his wife Lynn Zawadsky, his sister Marley and John O’Neill, and his six children: Carol and Gregorio Martinez; Joseph Zawadsky and Connie Clark; Mary Lynn Scotti; Mark Zawadsky and Sarah Slusser; Janet Mark and Jim Margitan; Jeffrey Zawadsky and Jessica Segal; and his 15 adoring grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29, 2016 at the Princeton University Chapel, located on the Princeton University campus. In lieu of flowers, Dr. Zawadsky requested that donations be made to the Princeton University Isabella McCosh Infirmary Athletic Medicine service or a charity of your choosing.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, Princeton.
