Cal, and went on to work at Sunrise

enterologist in the State in 1999, in an
article featuring the top physicians in
Nevada.
Frater Nemec has much to say in
that issue regarding significant
advances in the field of digestive
diseases, but also says that the
biggest challenge for doctors will now
be to find a way to provide compass­

environment. "Most doctors spend

Lots of news from VIC SHICK
'49, Vic has been retired since
1985 as CEO of Societe General

years of his life. Vic keeps busy in
retirement with tennis, friends and
home management, but there's
much more to his story. Some
may know that he spent a couple
of years in 1949 and 1950 as a
Stanford Law student. He did not
become a lawyer, but finds what
he continues to learn as a member
of that body as highly important in

NEWS OF
MAJ. GEN. (Ret.) DAN HELIX was
one of 75 veterans in Contra Costa
County to receive Korean War Service
medals recently fror a war he fought
50 years ago. As a Second Lieutenant
in Korea in 1952 he was shot three
times, returned to active duty on the
front lines, and received three Purple
Hearts. Later that year he served with
the CIA, an assignment he held with
disdain. He has written a book about
that experience, "The Kochi Maru
Affair," which is being considered for
publication.
Following seven years in the
Army, Dan enrolled at Cal under the
GI Bill. Studies he had done for
NATO prompted the Defense
Department to request his return to
active duty. He retired in 1989 as
Deputy Commanding General of the
6th Army at the San Francisco
Presidio, which he remembers as a
great assignment.
A resident of Concord, he
found time to serve as a city
councilman there from 1968 to 1976.
DAN HELIX
The Korean War Service Wedals were
conferred by the Republic of Korea
and sanctioned by the U.S.
government, originally offered in 1951.
The offer was renewed in 1998. The
award was bestowed by Yoo Tae­
Hyun, General Counsel for the
Republic of Korea, at the Danville
Veterans Hall.
Dan's address is 1102
Northridge Court, Concord, CA 94518.

WILLIAM C. ROCKWELL '48
If ever a Frater achieved the full
life, it was Bill Rockwell. As an
undergraduate he was the creator of
Oski. He essentially invented Oski and
was the firs: person to actually be Oskl
(with Dan Costello thinking up the
stunts). He was the designer of the
Take coat-at-arms that hung above
the fireplace on Channing Way.
Bill retired early as Research
Leader with USDA's Western Regional
Research Center and enrolled in a 211-
year course in aviation mechanics to
obtain an airframe and powerplanl
mechanics certificate.
Bill and his wife Betty were avid
aviators, Betty having earned her
private pilot certificate in 1976. After
life in the EI Cerrito area, they
migrated to the state of Washington
where they had purchased a lot, large
enough for a house and hangar, o n
Blakeley Island, and there they
resided tor the past two decades at
4015 Airport Road, Anacortes, WA.
Bill passed away last October 26 of
amyloid angiopathy. a condition for
which he had been treated a year-and­
a-half earlier. He entered the hospital
September 13, then returned home
and appeared to be making progress
toward regaining his speech. He
returned to the hospital October 14
when the medication that had been
relieving him no longer had an effect.
He had signed papers that his family
not initiate measures to artrricially
prolong his life, so he was moved to
the Care Center for "Comfort Care,"
and then was let go.
A celebration of his life was
held in November, and included a
Dixieland band and tr.e Marine
Corps Honor Guard.
MICHAEL E. WHITE '66
Mike passed away in Southern
California few months ago. Details of
his death were unavailable.
As a footnote to our publication ofthe
passing of Frater Roger Nyc Jr. '51
several issues ago, we are told by John
Heaney '50 that Roger planned a
Memorial Cocktail Party to be held
posthumously at Fort Mason Office rs
Club. Fraters attending were
Heaney, Ray Lippincott and John
Petrie.

ny perception of Carl Anderson is most
certainly in the eye of the beholder, and .
Fraters who know him by his wonderful humor
and twinkling eye do not usually see the conservative Justice
known far and wide throughout the profession of law and
jurisprudence in California as a "heavy sentencer", and who
came very close to being appointed to the California Supreme
Court. To us, he is "Andy." This presents a challenge to any
biographer who must, in fairness, characterize him for the
broad diversity of his life.
Born in Monterey Park, California in 1935, he grew up
in Albany, where he distinguished himself as an Eagle Scout
and was Valedictorian of his high school graduating class. He
pledgedTau Kappa Epsilon in 1953, becbming Prytanis in 1956.
He will be remembered as a trumpet player in the Cal Band,
though few will remember that he pursued a major in Geology
until he wearied of the poison oak contacted on weekend field
trips. Results of a college aptitude test then suggested law as a
career. Although he hated his first two years of law studies, he
returned to a third year after a summer of work in the Alameda
District Attorney's office provided the motivation to continue.
He received his law degree from Boalt Hall in 1962
Admitted to the California Bar in January, 1963,
he spent 15 months in a Post-Graduate Fellowship to
Germany where he studied German Criminal Law and
Procedure. Following this, he served in the Office of the
Alameda County District Attorney for 11 years in the Berkeley­
Albany Municipal Court, and as Legislative Advocate to the
- California Legislature for the California District Attorneys
Association, the California Peace Officers Association
Nu New s - 7
PROFILE
and the California State Sheriff's Association. He became a
SeniorTrial.Deputy District Attorney in 1974.
.
The turn of events which ensued in 1974 and 1975
could only be described as bizarre. Early in 1974 Alameda
County Superior Court Judge Redmond Staats announced he
would not seek reelection in June. This prompted the election
of Lewis Sherman whose term was to commence the following
January. Staats retired in September and Governor Reagan
appointed Sherman to fill the vacancy. However, Sherman died
in November. As his last Judicial appointment before handing
the reins to Democrat Jerry Brown, Reagan appointed
Anderson, by now 39, to fill the vacancy created by Sherman's
death. This happened at the end of the day on a Friday, and on
Monday morning, what with the new Democratic administration
now in place, he was greeted coldly by crusty Presiding Judge
George Phillips when he presented himself to begin work.
Phillips handed him a letter from Attorney General Evelle
Younger who felt Anderson's appointment was invalid. Indeed,
it appeared to some that he would be ajudge for only one day.
Phillips's refusal to honor the appointment prompted Anderson
to fight the issue, which culminated in a 6 to 1 decision in his
favor by the State Supreme Court.
Andy quickly earned a reputation as an honest,
talented and energetic judge, and ran unopposed at his first
election in 1976. In 1979 he was assigned to preside over the
murder trial of Black Panther leader Huey Newton, a trial he
said was the most tense of his career.
In 1984, he was elevated to the First District Court of
Appeal, and in a short time became Presiding Justice of
Division Four and then Administrative Presiding Judge of the
Court where he became a nationally recognized expert on the
administration of appeals. Here, he established standards of
efficiency, reducing increasing court backlogs and streamlining
the judicial system. This remains a great source of pride.
Another accomplishment, quite outside thejudicial
system, is his role in leading the Piedmont Boy Scout Council's
fight against National Boy Scouts to retain Piedmont Council's
independent status by saving it from consolidation. Piedmont
is, after all, the inventor of Cub Scouting, he points out.
Honors include commendation by the Alameda
County Bar ASSOCiation on the occasion of his retirement,
saying, in part, "by example and by deed (he) personifies the
highest qualities of a citizen, lawyer andjurist, and inspires all
who know him to better our world." The Lawyers Club of San
Francisco honored him "in recognition of exemplary service
and achievement." Andy also holds the TKETriangle Award.
He is active in numerous community organizations, including
Director of the Rotary Club of Oakland (1980-82), Director of
Lake Merritt Breakfast Club (1982-83), Trustee of Piedmont
Community Church (1980-82), Director Oakland SCPA (1977­
83), Director, Lincoln Child Center (1976-77), Board of Directors
of Volunteers of America, Bay Area (1984-90 and 1995-97) and
his work in the Piedmont Boy Scout Council over many years.
Following his retirement in 1997, he has been active
in mediation, arbitration and privatejudging.
A loving husband and father, Andy married Margo
Hart in 1964. They have two children, Thomas Hart and Marnie
Marie. The Andersons' new home is at 12 Sotelo Avenue,
Piedmont, CA 94611, after30 years on Oakland Avenue, most of
those years in a grand Victorian home which Andy once said,
"has too many stairs."
