Edward French Gillette was killed in the first week of August 1998 while 
camping in northern Pakistan.  Ned came to Dartmouth from the Holderness 
School.  He was an economics major, member of Theta Delta Chi, Casque and 
Gauntlet, and captain of the mens skiing team. Ned was a member of the 
1968 U.S. Olympic nordic team.  An adventurer, mountaineer, skier, sailor,
photographer, journalist, and author, he traveled the world. In 1990, he 
married Susan Patterson, a member of the U.S. Alpine Ski team in the 
1970s.  Together they shared many expeditions as career adventurers.  
She survives him, as does David Clarke '46.  Ned's presentation on his 
travels, including his record-setting row from the southern tip of 
South America to Antartica, was one of the highlights of our 25th 
Reunion, and provided many '67s with the promise that there were 
adventures remaining for each of our lives.
