PRENTICE TALMAGE JR. '50

Prentice Talmage died July 4, 2006, at his home in Far Hills, N.J.

"Prent" or "P.T.," as he was known on campus, graduated from St. Andrew's and served in the Coast Guard from 1944 to 1946, most of the time in the Pacific theater. He transferred to Princeton from Trinity in 1947. He belonged to Colonial Club and majored in economics.

He met his wife, Sylvia Woolworth, on a Nantucket, Mass., beach in 1950 and married her the next year. After living in New York City for three years, they moved to Far Hills and soon made their home on 22 acres of rural property. From there he commuted to New York, where he worked on Wall Street for more than 50 years.

A member of the New York Stock Exchange, Prent was still going to the floor every day until his retirement in 2000. He was an avid ice hockey player and loved tennis. He was a member of the Essex Hunt Club, having been on its board for many years, and of the Somerset Hills Country Club. His father was Prentice Talmage '24.

We extend our sympathy to Sylvia, his two daughters, and four grandchildren.
