CARDIFF SIDNEY BRADSHAW, a member of Lockheed Corporation's industrial relations department until his retirement last November, died April 11 in North Hollywood, Calif., after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He had celebrated his 60th birthday in January.

He served as assistant class agent, and was active in most California alumni activities. Three years ago, he attended the first of the Dartmouth Alumni Seminars at Wawona, Calif.
Brad's business career began in the California oil fields. He worked initially for Del Rey Oil and Gas company at Venice, and subsequently for Republic Supply Co an oil well supply firm in Bakersfield. He joined Lockheed in 1940 in personnel work and, at the time of his retirement, was executive director of the Lockheed Management Club. He then proceeded to organize the Stardusters, an organization of retired Lockheed employees who had been members of the Management Club.

He had been an employee of Campbell Soup for nearly 27 years, having joined the company shortly after World War II as an assistant purchasing agent. In recent years, as manager of purchasing for new construction, he had played a major role in the expansion of the company's physical facilities.
Bob had a long and abiding love affair with Dartmouth College. As an undergraduate, he was a member of Theta Chi, the Junto, the Round Table, the Dartmouth Union, the Philosophical Club and El Centro Espanol. From his earliest days, he was active in class affairs as an assistant class agent, Tear Bag editor, and recruiter. In recent years, he and Hilda were active participants in the annual fall reunions of the Class. They sent two sons to Hanover: Robert Rolfe Kugler '67, an attorney in Camden, N.J., and John Rolfe Kugler '72, who graduated Phi Beta Kappa and is now working on a grant for the prisons of New Hampshire.
Immediately after college, Bob took graduate work at Bay Path Institute and joined South American Development company in New York City in the fall of 1936. He was assistant purchasing agent when he left to join the U.S. Navy as a Lieut. (J.G.) in 1943. He served as CIC officer aboard the destroyer Southerland, and was a full lieutenant when he was mustered out.
In addition to his Dartmouth and business activities, Bob was active in the Vesper Club of Philadelphia, the Ocean Acres Club of Manahawkin, N.J., and the Spray Beach Yacht Club, near his summer home in Beach Haven Terrace,'N.J.

EDMUND ORR WILLIAMS, prominent Ohio produce grower and president of the Ohio Greenhouse Association, suffered a fatal heart attack March 12 and died that evening at the Newark (Ohio) hospital. He would have celebrated his 62nd birthday nine days later.
Eddie, descendant of a pioneering Ohio family, was a native of Newark and spent his entire life there. Upon graduating from Dartmouth, he took over management of farm properties that had been in his family for three and four generations. In 1950 he also became associated with his wife's family's greenhouses, and was vice president of W.S. Weiant and Sons, Inc. They supplied Bibb lettuce, tomatoes and other produce to markets throughout the Middle West.
Eddie entered Dartmouth from Peddie School, which he attended for two years after graduating from Newark High School. At Hanover, he played freshman football, and was a member of Psi U and Dragon.
He was active in many civic activities, and was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church, the Newark Rotary Club, and the Elks Lodge.

1937
WALTER BLAIR ADAMS died April 13 in Wilmette, Ill. He did not graduate with the Class and our records show nothing more than appeared in the 25-year book, at which time he was sales manager of St. John and Co., Chicago, and that he married Dorothy McManus and had three children. Any attempts to establish communication have come to nothing.
1940
DONALD CHISHOLM SCHOTT passed away the night of April 12 of a heart attack in his home at 1501 S.E. 15th St., Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Don was born in Montreal, Canada, on July 26, 1918. He came to Dartmouth from Lawrenceville and at Dartmouth majored in Spanish. He was a member of Zeta Psi and during our senior year, of Sphinx. In addition to these he also was an Active member of Centro Espanoi and Bait and Bullet. Athletically Don was a member of the freshmen football team, captain of the J.V. football team and wrestling and boxing champion in 1938-1939.
Don will not only be remembered for all the above, but his initial appearance on campus will perhaps bring him more forcefully to mind when you recall that his nickname was "Gong." Don's size was not what mattered to him - what mattered was that he always enjoyed what he was doing - which included not dieting! Don junked his forward going business career with Union Carbide to take up residence in Fort Lauderdale where he owned and operated a drugstore from the early '50s. This permitted him the complete freedom he always wanted in order to hunt and fish in the Everglades and enjoy other pastimes.
Don is survived by his widow Estelle and two daughters, to whom the Class extends its deepest sympathy.
1945
ANDREW JOHN MARKS died April 1 following a brief illness in Laconia, N.H., at the age of 51.
Born in Manchester, N.H., Andy prepared for Dartmouth at Manchester Central High School.
After returning from service as a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army in World War II, Andy received his baccalaureate degree and, in due course, his law degree from Boston University.
He established a law practice in Meredith, N.H., where, as his 25th reunion summary stated, he and his wife Frances enjo ed all the advantages of living on Lake Winnepesauke in "this four-seasons vacation community." Andy had been an associate judge of the Meredith court for the past ten years.
The Class extends its sincere sympathy to his wife and to his parents. Mrs. Marks lives on Wagon Wheel Trail, Meredith.

In replying to the questionnaire for the 25th Reunion book Bill wrote: ... Next time around I'll still go to Dartmouth — for more than four years. I regret that I have not had the chance to get back to Hanover more often and that this year is the Twenty-Fifth instead of the Fifth."
The Class extends its deepest sympathy to the family.
1950
We shall no longer see him standing tall, for NATHANIEL ROYSTER ROYALL III died from injuries sustained in a fall at his home in Dallas on February 8.
I remember Nat for little things - a contest at the bridge table, an evening, of conversation about many things felt deeply and differently, a winter morning's walk to class with diamonds flashing in the frigid crystal air. I recall a note from Penzance jotted quickly as a footnote to a European tour. I shall never forget him standing tall, the courtly southern gentleman, in greeting us to his birthday party for Robert E. Lee.
Nat entered Dartmouth from Texas Country Day School after a World War II tour with the Navy. He was a member of Kappa Sigma. After graduation, he returned to Dallas and entered the oil business as an independent. It was typical of Nat to list the telephone number of the local Dartmouth Club under his office number so that he could help visiting alumni contact friends.
Nat took pride in his convictions and his conservative stance on most issues, particularly on how the College was run. But his viewpoint was expressed with wit and a dry sense of humor. He remained active in Dartmouth affairs as a local recruiter, as a club officer, and as a gracious host for picnics and get-togethers at his home
I shall miss not again walking across the campus with Nat talking of many things felt differently and deeply.
