The Class of 1948

Robert Nathan Wilentz '48
Bob Wilentz, retired chief justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, died July 23, 1996. Bob was to have retired in Feb. 1997, but disabling cancer persuaded him to step down prior to mandatory retirement at age 70.
He was appointed chief justice by Gov. Brendan Byrne '49 in 1979, who at the time said jokingly he had done so on the basis of tennis ability. Bob had won several amateur tournaments and later said, "I had never, ever thought about being a judge of any kind."
His court was known as being innovative on social issues. The decisions that were prominent included supporting the rights of poor people to live in the suburbs and the underscoring the responsibility of hosts to make sure their guests do not drink to excess and later drive drunk. It was observed that the chief justice was able to achieve unanimous or nearly unanimous decisions through intellect and persuasion as well as plying the associate justices with pickled herring, lox, and coffee cake during lengthy discussions.
Bob was at Princeton for only a year. He joined us from Perth Amboy H.S. and went on to two years in the Navy, graduating from Harvard in 1949. He earned his law degree from Columbia. He served in the New Jersey Assembly from 1965-69.
To his daughter Amy, sons James and Thomas, the class extends its deepest sympathy.

David Fleming Hickok '52
One of our "iron" men, Dave Hickok, died from complications of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm on June 5, 1996. Dick Kazmaier spoke movingly at his service, which was attended by his classmates Atwater, Buyers, Dosdall, McGillicuddy, Nalen, Pivirotto, and Tangen.
Football captain at Blake School in Minneapolis, he captained the freshman team at Princeton. A varsity starter for three years, he was elected captain as a senior, was recipient of the Poe Cup, and played in the East-West game with Kaz and Pivi. Dave was also class v.p. (twice), and treasurer as a senior.
After graduation from Harvard medical school, Dave interned at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston and completed his surgical residency at the U. of Oregon Hospitals. He and Hope Potter were married June 21, 1958. Dave returned to Minneapolis and began his association with hospitals clustered around the U. of Minnesota medical school. He was chief of surgery, clinical associate professor, and founder and director of the Cancer Research Laboratory, where he studied receptor sites in breast cancer.
On and off the field, Dave led by example, strength of purpose, and will to win; his loyalty to friends as counselor and sometime diagnostician was unlimited. He is survived by Hope, four children, David Jr. '81, Molly '82, Edward, and Arthur '90, two brothers, a sister, and four grandchildren. To them we offer our profound sympathy.

Adrian S. Wilk '68
Adrian S. Wilk '68 died of a heart attack in early May 1995. He left behind many stunned friends, coworkers, and family.
Adrian majored in chemical engineering at Princeton and later obtained his professional engineering license. While at Princeton he became a member of Colonial Club. He made many friends there, but later resigned along with several of his classmates in order to support an effort to develop alternatives to selective eating clubs. This sacrifice helped propel the university to create alternative centers of social life that continue to enrich the diversity of Princeton life today. His classmates remember him as being perpetually up for superb stunts and good-natured carousing. He was also always ready for a deep philosophical or personal discussion.
After leaving Princeton he worked for Cities Service Petroleum Co. and then joined Bechtel Corp., where he spent over 20 years. His work with Bechtel took him all over the US and the world including Alaska, Saudi Arabia, and India. At the time of this death, he was a project manager in Houston.

Mark was a student teacher at West Windsor H.S. during our senior year, obtaining his New Jersey teacher certification.

He played first base in a Chicago softball league for many summers. His team won the league championship four consecutive years, and Mark was named league MVP the last year he played.
