Princeton Alumni Weekly - 1953 Class

With each passing day, aviation executive, 
philanthropist, and our former class president, 
Steedman Hinckley, who died Aug. 27, 1996, is 
missed by those fortunate to have known him. 
Born in Mt. Kisko, N.Y., Steedman graduated 
from Exeter. At Princeton he majored in history, 
was a member of Cottage Club, and roomed senior 
year with John Emery, Jinx Cleaves, and 
Dave Tait. A graduate of Harvard Business 
School, Steedman saw duty in the U.S. Military 
Air Transport Service. 

He was the former chairman of Overseas National 
Airways and was one of the leaders of the 
successful campaign to deregulate the airline industry. 



A longtime trustee and fundraiser for Exeter, 
he was chairman of the Third Century Fund and 
received Exeter's Founders Day award in 1962. 



He served Princeton as '53's president 
from 1993-6, as a member of the Alumni Council, 
and as an Annual Giving stalwart. 



He oversaw the construction of the 
paddle steamer Mississippi Queen and was active 
in preserving the country's resources, serving 
as chairman of the Piedmont Environmental Council.

He was a trustee of the Highland School in 
Warrenton, Va. 

Deepest sympathy continues to be extended to 
Steedman's wife, Ingrid Mjornell Hinckley, 
son G. F. Jr., daughters Annalisa H. Savin 
and Katherine '95, and brother Albert P. 
Jr. '55.
