Museum News (continued) GRANT MEYER ’53 NEW PECCARY TRUCK Grant Meyer ’53, former museum director and graduate of Webb School of California, passed away on December 22, 2004. An active peccary man while at Webb, Grant went onto a distinguished career in paleontology and worked at Yale University for many years. He returned to Grant Meyer ’53 (left) on the 1952 Summer Peccary Trip in Nebraska, with Peter Ries ’54 (center) and Patrick Muffler ’54 Webb in the mid 1970’s to assume the directorship of the museum. Among his many accomplishments, Grant presided over the formation of the museum as an independent corporation, was instrumental in establishing a museum endowment, laid the initial groundwork for the museum’s drive for national accreditation and modernized exhibits in the Hall of Life. (A more complete biography of Grant Meyer ’53 will appear in the next WEBB magazine.) The museum has a new truck thanks to the generosity of Larry Ashton ’70, Ron Hagander ’66, Rob Gilmore ’70 and Dwight Taylor ’49. It’s a crew cab with a topper; a great fit for hauling field equipment, as well as students and their gear. It will soon become very familiar with peccary collecting sites all over California, Utah and Montana. Development Dick Lynas ’55 Joins Museum Board John “Dick” Lynas ’55 was elected to the Board of Trustees of the Alf Museum in October. Dick is a very active Peccary Society member and has attended more peccary dinners and alumni trips than just about anybody. He recently served a term on the Alumni Council of The Webb Schools where he was the museum liaison. Dick Lynas ’55 (2nd from left) on a recent Goler Research Trip, with (l-r) Bob Baum ’61, Lynas, Jim Honey, Priscilla McKenna, Malcolm McKenna ’48 and Jay Lillegraven Dick grew up in Southern California and moved to Claremont in 1944 when his mother became secretary for Girls Collegiate School. Leaving Claremont for three years to board at Desert Sun School, Dick returned home and entered Webb School of California as a sophomore and graduated in 1955. After attending the Naval Academy and UC Riverside, he spent five years in the Navy, including two tours as a Naval Aviator flying off a carrier in Vietnam. He married Sally Bane of Oakland, Iowa in 1966. Returning to civilian life in 1968, he began a career working on military flight simulators, starting with the Navy’s first digital simulator. Over the next 25 years, Dick worked in the maintenance, operation, design, documentation and quality assurance aspects of simulation, retiring in 1993. Since then, Dick has established a continuing relationship with the museum, spending more than two weeks a year volunteering as well as enjoying peccary trips. Museum Director Don Lofgren notes that “Dick is a computer and technology wizard who can fix any problem with lighting, exhibits, computers, etcetera. He is a tremendous resource of skill and knowledge, and I’m very pleased and thankful that Dick has agreed to serve on the museum board.” 6 Q u e s t
