Christopher S. Wren ’57 died on February 15 at home in Thetford, Vermont. Chris graduated from Trinity Pawling School in Pawling, New York. He majored in English, was editor of The Dartmouth Quarterly literary magazine, and was active in the Dartmouth Christian Union, the Russian Club (president), the Mountaineering Club, and Army ROTC. He studied Russian at the University of Edinburgh and earned a master’s from Columbia University School of Journalism. Between degrees he was stationed in South Korea with the U.S. Army and trained as a paratrooper with Army Special Forces (Green Berets) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Chris began his journalism career at Look magazine (1964-7l), covering civil rights struggles, Vietnam, and a coup in Greece. After Look folded, he wrote for Newsweek before joining The New York Times as a foreign correspondent. With the exception of his service as Ottawa bureau chief (1984-86), Chris’ postings were in countries hostile to Westerners. He was bureau chief in Moscow (1974-77), Cairo (1977-80, covering Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s trip to Israel and the Iran hostage crisis), Beijing (1981-84), and Johannesburg (1988-92, covering South African anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela’s release from prison). Chris’ cat, Henrietta, was his companion on multiple overseas assignments. While based in New York City in the 1990s, he reported on the United Nations, and later on the bombing of the World Trade Center. His hobbies were mountaineering, skiing, karate, running, and folk music. Chris is survived by his wife, Jaqueline; and daughter Celia. His twin sister and son predeceased him.
