William Baschnagel ’62

William Baschnagel ’62 died December 14, 2017, at home in Etna, New Hampshire, after a long struggle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Fran, children Josh and Siri and their families. Bill majored in engineering and was a member of the DOC, Green Key and Air Force ROTC, later serving in the U.S. Air Force for 20 years. Bill received a master’s in engineering from George Washington University and then applied himself to challenging assignments in Vietnam, Thailand and Cape Canaveral, Florida, launching missiles for NASA. Retiring as a lieutenant colonel, Bill and Fran moved to Etna, where Bill was active in business, class and community affairs. We fondly remember Bill and Fran from the class Greek trip and regular attendance at class reunions.
