Edwin Harold Dahlgren Jr. *60

Body

Edwin H. Dahlgren Jr., chemical engineer and consultant to the pulp and paper industry, died Apr. 30, 1998. He was 65.

Edwin attended the U. of Washington, where he earned both a BA and a BS in chemical engineering. He was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He earned a MS in chemical engineering at Princeton in 1960.

Edwin served his country as a pilot in the Air Force. At the conclusion of his Air Force service, he joined the engineering staff of the Georgia Pacific Co. in 1959. He remained in their employ as manager of engineering services and environmental director until his retirement in 1991. He then became a consultant in the same field. He held memberships in the Northwest Pulp and Paper Assn. and in the Technical Assn. of the Pulp and Paper Industry. He was also active in community affairs and as a member of the Bellingham school board.

An inveterate lover of the outdoors, Edwin spent much time, especially after his retirement, hiking, skiing, and mountain climbing with members of his family. The list of major peaks which he scaled in the Pacific Northwest is most formidable.

He is survived by his wife, Victoria, two daughters, one son, and a brother.
