Charles Jeremy Shaw was born in Cheshire, England, son of Thomas Derek Shaw and Joan Dorothy Harrison Burgess. His stepfather was Gilbert Robinson Pirrung, '34S.

Jeremy Shaw attended Andover with the class of 1956 but did not graduate. He came to Yale from the New Preparatory School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, class of 1957. He was with the Yale Class of 1961 beginning in September 1957 until early 1960. In the fall of 1960 he joined our class but left Yale in 1961.

He was a member of Trumbull College and rowed on the Trumbull crew. His home residence in 1962 was Aragon Farms, Bainbridge, Georgia.

Jeremy had a deep interest in paleontology and fossil collecting. He had an extensive personal collection, which he assembled in Wisconsin as well as in Canada. He produced a catalogue of his collection entitled "Local Fossils" in "Paleontological Exhibits," published by the University of Wisconsin at Fox Valley. He also wrote an essay on "Fossil Hunting," focusing on collecting fossils such as trilobites, cephalopods and Crinoids, which was published in Mother Earth News in 1980.

Jeremy lived after 1986 in Menasha, Brown and Green Bay, Wisconsin until his death in Green Bay in 2011. Unfortunately, little else is known of his life. We have no knowledge of survivors.
