I believe the Gary L. Wallen you have listed was an animal control guy from Chicago not the Gary L. Wallen from Mines. He doesn’t look anything like the Gary Wallen I went to Mines with.

Dave,
Many thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are indeed mistaken. The school had no contact information for Gary Wallen ’75 for several years. Then in 2009, a service called AlumniFinder, to which the school subscribes, found a past address for a Gary L. Wallen in Golden and entered this information into the database. Along with the address, a birthdate for the Gary L. Wallen who lived in Golden was also entered into the database. Periodically the school also runs the database through an obituary finder service, and a few months ago a match was found for a Gary L. Wallen with the exact birthdate we had in our database. We jumped to the obvious conclusion, not thinking that though the Gary in our database who had lived in Golden did not attend Mines. As far as we can gather, Gary L. Wallen ’75 is in good health and working for Houston Drilling Management operating out of Kingwood, TX. I’ll be contacting him shortly to apologize for our error. I really appreciate this Dave.
All the best, Nick
