Robert McIntyre Doty --- 1933-1992

Although Mac transferred and so did not graduate with us in 1952, he was one of us for many years and should be a part of our record. Mac has gone but the memories remain.

Thanks to Mac’s wife Joan, we now have some photographs and a record of his career.

Joan and Mac were married in September of 1961. They have two boys, Paul and David. Paul is a librarian at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY and is married with three children. Dave is an environmental consultant in Bedford, NH. Joan taught Science at Southern New Hampshire University from 1978 to 1992 - and did the entertaining for Mac at the various museums he worked for.
