IN MEMORIAM
Rick Biedenweg ’75, whose Pacific Partners Consulting Group served more than 225 universities and public institu- tions by forecasting their capital budget needs for deferred maintenance and forecasted facilities renewal, died suddenly at his home in Saratoga, Calif., at age 56, of a suspected cardiac arrest. He leaves his wife, Linda, and
two adult children, Laura and Scott. Friend Robert E. Hutson of San Francisco State University wrote, “Funny, irreverent, whip-smart, enthusiastic and kind…A coach for the Odyssey of the Mind program, his team went to the national and international levels. Wine-maker, sailor, bridge champion, bowler, congregation leader, intrepid trav- eler, and teller of a hundred hilarious anecdotes…this is the man his friends mourn deeply.”
Andrew Ingram ’01, an electrical engineer at Tesla Motors of Palo Alto, died in a small-plane crash along with two other employees from Tesla, an electric- vehicle manufacturer. Ingram, an employee at the company for two and a half years, “was passionate about electronics and exquisite audio systems, and was eager to
lend a hand wherever it was needed, from marketing to manufactur- ing,” according to Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk. Andrew previously worked for Dolby Laboratories and Christie, Parker and Hale.
Charles Robbins ’63 died unexpectedly from a brain tumor in January 2009. Most of his professional life was spent with IBM, which afforded him the opportunity to live and work abroad in England and South Africa. After his retirement in 2005, he enjoyed summers in England and winters in San Fran- cisco, which had been home base for the previous 20 years. Retirement included many activities—history,
philosophy, literature courses, serious chess at the Mechanics’ Institute in San Francisco, less-serious online chess, travel, playing with his grandson, playing slightly contentious bridge with his wife, and much more that made his time here rich and rewarding. He leaves a son, Todd, daughters, Diane and Bridget, and wife, Sallie.
Jacob Wintersmith ’07 (formerly known as Jacob Pugh) passed away unex- pectedly in February. A memorial was held on campus February 25. Jacob was a physics major, but com- pleted a senior thesis with Andrew Bernoff, professor of mathematics, modeling fluid experiments, which resulted in two publications in physics journals. After HMC, Jacob began a doctoral program in applied
mathematics at the University of New Mexico then transferred to Oregon State University, where he pursued physics and mathematics.
