Thomas E. Sanderson '65, a lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve, was killed yesterday morning in a plane crash near Hingham, Mass. The 28-year-old junior was co-pilot of the plane at the time of the crash.
The plane's pilot, Peter Gram, of West Action, Mass., had called his base at 10:40 a.m. to report that the engines were losing power; fifteen minutes later, the plane crashed and both officers were killed.

After leaving the Navy in Agu., 1960, Sanderson entered Harvard, but he was recalled to service during the Berlin Crisis, when he served at Guantanamo, Cuba.
