The Necessity of Wilderness
| Garry Duncan, biology professor |
| Dale Benham, biology professor |
Duncan is trained as a
geneticist and loves the
outdoors. Active in scouts for
years with his two sons, Garry
has camped every month of the
year in sometimes less than
desirable conditions - but
always with a smile. He has
also led student trips to
NIobrara River and has recently
canoed the BWCAW.
His love for the outdoors can
only be exceeded by his love of
chocolate chip cookies,
racquetball and golf.

| Jerald Bricker, biology professor |
Bricker is an avid backpacker
and sleeper outside. His
trips have taken him, his
friends and his students from
the tropical forests of Belize,
to the depths of the coral
reefs of Honduras, down the
rivers of Alaska, to the peaks
