Douglas R. Wilder ’58 passed away in North Carolina on January 20. Doug grew up in upstate New York and at Dartmouth was an art major (pre-architecture) and a Theta Delta Chi brother. He served two years in the Army and then had a 27-year career at IBM, much of it in marketing and planning. After retiring early Doug and his wife moved to Flat Rock, North Carolina, where he began a second career as an independent design and sales representative for manufacturers of custom post-and-beam homes. Doug called this “a satisfying second career, but without the pressure of big business and the required move every four or five years. Here I met really nice people and [helped] them create the homes they’ve always dreamed of.” He also found time to play golf three or four times a week and to pursue his hobby of growing bonsai. A friend said, Doug “had a unique talent for always listening before he spoke, which made people feel special.” Doug is survived by his second wife, Cathy, a son, a daughter, and four granddaughters.
