Faculty & Friends Gerald D. Allen was a faculty member in the School of Medicine’s Department of Anesthesiology from 1962 to 1972. He died in Solana Beach, Calif., on Jan. 6 at the age of 92. Ruth N. Boyd spent 25 years on the staff of the Center on Human Health and Disability. Quick-witted and generous, she always made time for friends and family. Boyd died May 31 in Seattle at age 92. David P. Christie was a radiologist at UW Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center. He continued to work part time until he was 94. Quick with a story or a passage
from Shakespeare, Christie died Feb. 19 in Seattle at age 95. Ethel L. Clarke, ’76, ’85, spent her life as a public school teacher, principal and adjunct professor at the UW and at Western Washington University. She loved attending the Shakespearean Festival in Ashland, Ore. Clarke died June 13 in Seattle at age 75. Daniel J. Dailey was a professor of electrical engineering who founded the UW’s Intelligent Transportation Systems Lab. A fan of kayaking, biking and science fiction, he died March 28 in Falls Church, Va. He was 60. James A. Donaldson became chair of the Department of Otolaryngology in 1965. He enjoyed designing and making things, including one of the first commercial ear tubes. He also loved doughnuts and was nuts about peanut cake topped with peanut frosting and (what else?) peanuts. Donaldson died March 20 in Redmond at age 86. Richard Duncan, ’69, ’73, was a professor in electrical engineering and a fierce environmentalist. He was well known for walking around his North Admiral neighborhood with his signature trekking poles. Duncan died March 12 in Seattle at age 83. Erselle Eade, ’71, was president of the King County Medical Society Auxiliary and served as the mayor of Hunts Point for 11 years. She died June 3, not even two weeks after her husband Gilbert died. She was 94. Allen E. Elijah Sr. served as chief electrical engineer at the UW Facilities Department for many years. An accomplished woodcarver and bow-and-arrow hunter, he thought, “Life should be a simple but satisfying experience.”

ike a winding river, John P. Keating’s life took some unusual turns. The San Francisco native was a star first baseman and pitcher in high school who turned down an offer from the Cincinnati Reds to become a Jesuit priest. He left the order in 1969 to marry his wife, Pam. Three years later, Keating joined the UW psychology faculty. He served on the University’s Indian Studies committee, which helped create the Department of Ethnic Studies. In 1990, he became the first dean and vice provost of the new UW Bothell and UW Tacoma campuses. Keating—the first in his family to attend college— went on to be president of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. Keating died May 10 at age 88.
