1952 Obituary

On November 28, 2005 John R. Shuman died. His home was in Piedmont, California. A native Californian, Jack came to Dartmouth from Lowell High School in San Francisco. He majored in Philosophy and was a member of Delta Tau Delta and Casque and Gauntlet.

After Navy service as operations officer on a destroyer, Jack returned to San Francisco where he joined his father's stock brokerage firm, which he eventually headed. In 1974 he branched out and formed a separate investment advisory firm. It was a success. As Jack related in a part of his very funny report in the '52 fiftieth year book, "if one happens to launch an investment counseling firm on the eve of a 22 year 13-fold advance of the Dow Jones Index, he is apt to make a few successful investments and have at least several happy clients".

Jack leaves behind his wife, Josephine, and three children - John ''78, Lauren, Stephen, and two grandchildren.
