Augustus D Whitney attended Camden High School a year ahead of me and we both traveled on a public bus in the morning to school. I got to know him well and as I understand it, he graduated in 1943 and entered the Marine Corps, was sent under one of their programs to Princeton and then requested active duty, was sent to the Pacific theatre and was killed in action. Gus, as I remember him was intelligent, well-liked and is missed by his friends and family.
