Charles D. Storer Jr. ’51

Charles D. Storer Jr. ’51, a man of unusually broad interests and wide-ranging curiosity who never stopped learning, died on August 1, 2016, in Riverdale, New York. He is survived by his wife, June, and seven children and stepchildren. His son, Sam, was a member of Dartmouth’s class of 1984. Chuck began his professional career as a reporter for the Daily Capital Journal in Pierre, South Dakota, “covering everything from minor league baseball to local politics.” Later reporting jobs included stints with The Knickerbocker News in Albany, New York, and the Associated Press. He moved from journalism to public relations, first with the New York Stock Exchange and finally with Robert Marston & Associates, which he described as his “most comfortable professional home.” He worked in the field, at least part-time, until his early 80s. Chuck’s many interests included the fine arts, photography, traditional jazz, the outdoors (he was a birder, fisherman, camper, sailor, and gardener), New York Times crossword puzzles, and the New York Mets. He was active in his wife’s art gallery in SoHo and, with her, served as a board member of the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Chuck and June made annual trips to Paris in search of new artwork. At Dartmouth Chuck was an international relations major and a member of Delta Tau Delta, the Glee Club and the 150-pound crew. He served two years as a captain in the U.S. Marine Corps in Korea and studied English literature at Columbia University
