From David Prentice:

Charles A. Fitz-Gerald III passed away December 30, 2015 after a battle with lung cancer. Following his graduation from Dartmouth he joined the U.S. Navy and trained as an aviator in Pensacola, Florida then spent most of his active duty stationed at China Lake, California and felt those years flying in the desert were the most exciting in his life.

Steven Eric Amundson died December 5, 2015. He was born in Pendleton, Oregon and in high school excelled in all major sports and music activities as well as serving as student council president. He was offered full ride academic scholarships to Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth. He began his college career at Dartmouth in pre-med and had a very successful freshman year. Following that year, what his family now understands, he suffered the onset of a debilitating diagnosis of bi-polar disease.

Timothy Charles Rosenhan died unexpectedly October 24, 2015 in Twisp, Washington.

He was an F-4 Phantom flight instructor for the Corps and that experience led him to work as an airport planner with Reid Middleton, Inc. of Seattle.
