Dale Orwig ’60 passed on May 6, 2023 after a five-year battle with cancer at the age of 81.  After high school Dale served four years in the Air Force and saw much of the Pacific, Australia and the United Kingdom.  He then attained a degree in software from Cal Poly Pomona.  He spent a long and productive career in government and the defense industry in the Washington, DC area.  He was preceded in death by his first wife Carol in 1995 and is survived by his second wife Jeanie, with both of whom he shared a deep love. 



Dave Swinington ’65 passed away in Solana Beach on May 1st after living with cancer for seven years. Dave and his fraternal twin sister Roanne were born in San Diego to Rohan and Elsie Swinington.  After graduating from San Diego State University with a master’s degree in education, he worked for the San Diego Unified School District in Special Education for 37 years. He was instrumental in developing the TRACE program, an educational support network that assists young adults with disabilities to transition from high school to adult life.  David had many passions including playing drums, hiking, birding, traveling, and surfing, where he was known as Dawnman because of his early morning paddle outs to the waves.  With an inquisitive mind and passion for learning he lived each day to the fullest, enjoying long talks with friends and strangers alike about the meaning of life and the wonders that were all around us. His sense of humor and sharp wit always kept everyone laughing as he saw humor in so many things that others may not have seen.  He is survived by, among others, Judie -- his loving wife of 32 years
