TECHNOLOGY REVIEW CLASS OF 1963 NOTES NOVEMBER/DECEMBER, 1995
ISSUE (Sent August 07, 1995)
Both *David Johnson, VI, and *Warren
Sewall, XVIII, contacted me to inform me that *Alan Ramo, XII,
died of a heart attack on May 19th. They were both close to him and obviously
shaken by his sudden and untimely death. You certainly will remember him
from Baker House and his exceptional success in sports, especially wrestling.
If you were looking for a bridge game, Alan was your man and became a Life
Master at 26. Alan earned his MS in Geophysics from Cal Tech and did further
graduate work at University of Texas at Dallas. He was a Staff Professional
Geophysicist with the Oryx (Sun Oil) Corporation and a world renowned authority
on geothermal physics. He had discovered the locations of significant sources
of natural hot water. He met Doris in 1973 and consistent with his interest
in water, they were nationally recognized for their leadership in the Coast
Guard Auxiliary. They had just celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.
They have a son, Richard. If you are moved to do so, Doris suggests directing
memorial contributions to the American Diabetes Association and the Finnish-American
Society of Dallas-Fort Worth. Alan made a real impact on those who knew
him. He will be sorely missed.
