The Smiths are asking $350,000 for the four-story building and will toss in all wedding accouterments, down to the dainty lace curtains with rosebud tie-backs and the overflowing silk flower arrangements.
They are nowhere near the oldest couple to come to the chapel. That goes to a 96-year-old groom and his 92-year-old bride, who drove to Elkton twice from Winchester, Va., once for the license and again for the wedding.
The Smiths have no computer and no way to keep track of who is still married. He works at a wicker desk about six hours a day, mostly answering phones. After 6,000 weddings, he said he usually knows which will last.
One bride waited almost an hour, only to have an ambulance deliver the groom, who had been injured in a motorcycle accident on the way to his wedding. The crew carried him in on a stretcher, stayed for the quick ceremony and then took him and his new wife to the hospital.
John Haughton DArms 56 John died Jan. 22, 2002, in NYC. Following graduation, he had a Keasbey scholarship to study classics for three years at Oxford. He shared digs with his classmates Neil Rudenstine and Charlie Fried, also studying at Oxford. That undoubtedly played an important part in his development as a major classical scholar who dealt with important archaeological digs throughout the ancient world. At various times, John served as the director of the American Academy in Rome, as a trustee of Princeton, and as professor and chairman of classical studies, dean of the Graduate School and vice provost of the U. of Michigan. In December, he was appointed a trustee of the Institute for Advanced Study. At his death, he was the president of the American Council of Learned Societies. John prepared for Princeton at Exeter. A talented pianist, he played with jazz bands on campus. He was a member of Colonial Club. Senior year, he roomed with Darby Bannard, Tom Waite, Stu Block, and John Bodman.

Denig 59 Frank died in Connecticut on Sept. 1, 2001, of multiple myeloma. A native of NYC, Frank majored in history at Princeton, took meals at Terrace Club, played freshman baseball and football, swam varsity, and served on the Orange Key schools and scholarship committee. In later years Frank served as a schools committee member. Frank worked for many years for the Schindler Elevator Corp. of Morristown, N.J., as vice president for information systems. In 1997 he took a position with Yale as executive director of procurement. His management style and warm personality had an immediate impact, leading to a major reorganization of the procurement system and introduction of innovative processes. Even after learning of his illness Frank continued to focus his energies on his job. Frank wrote in our 35th-reunion yearbook: To die the way a leaf dies, robed in brilliance, with quiet spiraling grace. Those words were prophetic, for that was the way Frank faced death. Frank is survived by his wife, Dolores; his son, Christopher; his sister, Joyce; and his mother, Frieda, to all of whom the class extends its heartfelt sympathies. The Class of 1959 Andrew A.

The Class of 1960 David Burton Driscoll 64 On Dec. 6, 2001, our class lost a good friend when David died of cancer. He was 59. David, or Dip as many of his classmates knew him, arrived at Princeton as a self-described precocious, spoiled youth, having prepared at Exeter. At Princeton, David impressed classmates with his smile and his cynical view of authority. He explained that this attitude was acquired at Exeter along with his nickname: Dip, David said, was of course, short for cheese dip. David swam at Princeton and sang in the Chapel Choir in addition to numerous student entrepreneurial activities. A member of Tower Club, he majored in history. Following graduation, David worked for Chase Manhattan Bank before establishing his own business in NYC real estate development and investment. David is survived by his wife, Pat, his children, Hannah and Scott, and a brother, Scott 61. The class extends its deepest sympathy to the family. The Class of 1964 DAVID A. GARDNER 69 Davids death in NYC on Dec. 23, 2001, evokes both a great sense of loss and an enormous sense of gratitude for an extraordinary life. Remarkably accomplished as a real estate developer, venture capitalist, and philanthropist, he will be best remembered as a superb human being. After Princeton, he received an MBA from Harvard in 1971, and he and Lynn, a business school classmate, married and forged a partnership of great devotion and success. In 1980 David formed Gardner Capital Corp., which developed personal and residential properties in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Maryland. Among many activities, he was chair of the Citizens Housing and Planning Council of New York and a national board member of the Muscular Dystrophy Assn., the affliction he battled courageously and effectively for many years. A leader in Princeton activities, he served as cochair of the New York region for Princetons 250th Anniversary Campaign; repeatedly as special gifts cochair for our class; and as class vice president. His intellect, his warmth, his captivating smile, and unfailing kindness will live on in our hearts. Our sympathy goes to Lynn and to his mother, Matilda, his sister, Cynthia, and his brother, Daniel. The Class of 1969 James Abercrombie Pendleton 69 James died of a malignant brain tumor in Boulder, Colo., on Dec. 13, 2001.

Nancy and Jim were married in Aug. of 1969 in the first Catholic wedding held in the Princeton Chapel.

Colleagues at his funeral lauded his professionalism and his dedication to public service and to preserving the Colorado environment. The author of many papers, he was awarded the National Defense Education Fellowship and the John Wesley Powell Award. Jim and Nancy created a spectacular, welcoming environment in their mountain home. Their train room, a magical array of model trains, reflected one of Jims passions. Jim leaves many friends in the classes of 1968 and 1969. Along with Nancy, he is survived by his mother, Mary; brothers Joseph and Philip; and sisters Mary, Stephanie, and Jeanne. We send our sympathy to them all. The Class of 1969
