Memoriam<br />

Gavin McLaren (85B) died<br />

on December 5, 2002, at the age<br />

of 35 after a short battle with<br />

cancer. He played trumpet in<br />

85B. Gavin grew up in<br />

Saskatchewan, Canada, and<br />

completed his degree in computer<br />

engineering after traveling<br />

with UWP. He worked as a<br />

software developer in<br />

Vancouver, Canada, where he<br />

lived with his wife Nicola<br />

(Horner) (85B) and their two<br />

children Shannon (4) and Ian<br />

continued to fill his life, and he<br />

and Nicola treasure the friendships<br />

and support of their<br />

castmates.<br />
