Burton Crawford Dunn ’34

Body

Burt, after a long and distinguished career as a petroleum geologist who was well thought of in the oil industry, died May 24, 2002, in Grand Junction, Colo. He was 90.

Burt graduated from the U. of Pittsburgh (his hometown) in 1936, and entered the oil business that spring, when he went to work for the Ohio Oil Co. in Tulsa. He moved from there to Wichita, Kan., and remained until 1947, when he entered the consulting field.

Burt was predeceased by his wife of 66 years, Jane Baucherle. Surviving are a son and a daughter, six grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. To them all, we extend our sincere sympathies.
