Edmund Lee Wadhams – 50th Reunion Essay
Edmund Lee Wadhams
Date of Death: 21-Mar-2018
From the Main Line Media News: Edmund Lee (“Ned”) Wadhams, of Onancock Virginia, died on March 21 of natural causes. He was well loved and will be sorely missed. He attended Chestnut Hill Academy, graduated from St. Mark’s and Yale. He was a direct descendant of Richard Henry Lee, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Ned loved the arts. He could not resist throwing in a reference to an apt line from a play, film, or book to illustrate the point he was making. He traveled widely, often in the company of friends and his beloved dog.
From his friend, William Clay Howe (’68): I knew him through the Yale Dramat. He was a participating member of the Dramat, and among other accomplishments, he had a role in the World English Language Première of Eugène Ionesco’s “Hunger and Thirst” on the Yale University Stage. He was in Pierson College, and was a member of Zeta Psi Fraternity. He worked for at least one summer at the French Language School/Camp, “École Acadie” in Bar Harbor, Maine, where my wife Simone Germann Howe, Simone’s sister Catherine, and Simone’s mother Madeleine also worked. All those who had the good fortune of meeting Ned will miss him very much indeed.
