Following a stint in the corporate world, Geoff earned his M.A. Army officer, and served as a field artilleryman at Fort Ord, California. Lawrence University (during which he joined ROTC and graduated from Ranger School), he became a U.S. Army veteran of the campaign in northwest Europe, an experience which influenced both of Geoff’s interests and career paths. He grew up in Esopus, New York, the son of Ann (née Mohan) and Anthony S.

He had been ill for nine months prior to his death.

With great sadness, we must recognize the passing of our colleague and friend Geoffrey Preaut Megargee, in Arlington, Virginia, on 1 August 2020.
