David S. Hall ’51 died on June 10. He had divided his time for many years between homes in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Intervale, New Hampshire, the home of the Hall family paint business. Dave came to Dartmouth from the Choate School. He majored in sociology and was a member of Kappa Sigma. Following graduation he served for two years in the U.S. Coast Guard. He spent many years in senior sales management positions with the Kyanize Paint Co., founded by his grandfather. His brother, Harry ’50, also worked in the business.
