John Starkweather Pendleton died November 25, 1992.  Many classmates 
remember John's moving entry in the 25th Reunion yearbook, where he 
talked of coping with AIDS, against which he fought with great courage.  
In college John was a cheerleader and very active with the Hopkins 
Center, where he acted with the Players and directed memorable 
productions of works by William Saroyoan and Brendan Behan.  After 
graduate work in acting at Smith, John served in Vietnam in the Special 
Forces.  An M.A. from the University of Texas in directing prepared 
him for a life in the theater.  He began at the American Conservatory 
Theater in San Francisco and continued for over a decade in Seattle, 
where he was a versatile actor with many stage and screen credits.  
John is survived by his mother, Doris Pendleton, and three brothers.
