Duncan M. “Sandy” Fitchet Jr. ’76

Duncan M. “Sandy” Fitchet Jr. ’76 died on September 20, 2014, following a tragic accident in his Etna, New Hampshire, home. He is survived by his wife, Jane, and daughter Margaret ’08. Sandy came to Dartmouth as a legacy, following his father, with the first class to admit women to the College. Daughter Margaret continued the family tradition, graduating as valedictorian of her class. Sandy was a member of Sigma Theta Epsilon (now Sigma Phi Epsilon) and participated in varsity track and cross country. After living in other parts of the country, Sandy and Jane settled in Etna and pursued a career in the development of mapping technologies, ultimately founding the firm TrueVector Technologies, which developed mapping and logistics applications for the military and other functions. As an Upper Valley resident Sandy served the College in numerous ways, including as a member of the alumni council, timer and judge for the track and cross-country teams and member of the alumni volunteer council Sigma Theta Epsilon, where he helped to develop and construct the fraternity’s new home on Webster Avenue. Sandy would often host tailgate parties for friends and classmates that were always well attended. Sandy will be missed by his classmates, fraternity brothers and others in the Upper Valley and at the College he loved.
