LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Augustin S. "Gus" Hart, Jr., of Lake Forest, Ill., former vice-chairman of the Quaker Oats Company, and founder of the Inter-American Foundation died at Lake Forest Hospital Wednesday, Dec. 8, 1999.
Born Aug. 5, 1915 at Brooklyn, N.Y., he was the son of Augustin Snow and Alice O'Connor Hart.
His formative education was received at Garden City, N.Y., schools. He graduated from Princeton University in 1937 and advanced his education at the London School of Economics, the Wharton School of Finance and extensively traveled throughout Latin America and Europe.
He married Margaret J. Stuart April 11, 1942, in Lake Forest. After World War II, they lived on Long Island, N.Y., moving to Lake Forest in 1960.
Hart, an accomplished linguist, worked for the Quaker Oats company from 1937 until his retirement as vice-chairman in 1980. Most of his time there was spent building and managing the company's international division.
While on Quaker business, he was in Holland when the Germans invaded that nation, partly by parachute, in 1940. During detainment, he became Assistant Naval Attache for the American Embassy at The Hague.
Commissioned as a horse cavalry officer through the ROTC program at Princeton, Hart joined the 82nd Division as it was being transitioned for airborne assault in January 1942. He left active duty February 1946, a highly decorated lieutenant colonel, having served on the staffs of Generals Maxwell Taylor and James Gavin. He saw heavy action in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Holland and Germany. He was among the first Allied troops in the D-Day invasion at Normandy, having taken the controls of an incapacitated glider over Ste-Mere-Eglise. Later he helped counter German offensives at both the Ardennes Forest and Elbe River as a member of General Gavin's staff. The 82nd then became instrumental in securing the post-war occupation of Berlin.
A lover of music, as a youth he sang in the chorus of the Metropolitan Opera while at Princeton. He later served as a board member of both the Met and the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
A former long-time director of the United States Trust Company, New York, and the Banco di Roma, Chicago, he was a life trustee of St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, and a founder and life trustee of Lake Forest Open Lands. He served on the board of several other civic organizations including Union Theological Seminary, New York, Outward Bound, Inc. and Lake Forest College.
Interested in both national and international economics, Hart served as a member of the Grace Commission, which determined how the U. S. might save hundreds of billions by eliminating government inefficiencies, under the Reagan Administration.
An early authority on Latin America, he served on the Business Advisory Council's Latin America committee from 1950-58. He was co-founder of the Inter-American Foundation and served as its Chairman from 1970-78. The IAF has been instrumental in the development of smaller, locally-owned and operated infrastructure businesses in Central and South America.
He served on the board of the British-North American Committee, was a member of both the Chicago (past chairman) and New York Councils on Foreign Relations and was on the Ditchley Foundation's advisory council.
