"The Davis Enterprise," Friday, June 21, 2002
Robert M. Maclean

Davis resident Robert M. Maclean died suddenly while baking bread, one of his
favorite activities, on June 18, 2002. He was 81.

He was born on Feb. 21, 1921, in Oakland and was raised in the Livermore area.
In 1947, he graduated from UC Berkeley with a bachelor of science degree in
forestry.

He married Jeanne Fayette on Aug. 31, 1946, in Stockton. He worked from 1947
until 1984 with the state Department of Forestry, where he was a staff member
for forest management.

He also served as a school board member from 1961 to 1966 in the Rincon Valley
Union School District in Santa Rosa. He was a devoted and avid outdoorsman,
enjoying backpacking, hiking and fishing. He was an Eagle Scout and later served
as a leader in the Boy Scouts, in which he received several leadership awards,
including the Silver Bear and the Silver Beaver, and training under the Wood
Badge program.

He was active in the AFS exchange program and he and his wife, Jeanne, served as
area representatives, hosting several students in their home and developing an
extended family throughout the country and world.

He had an insatiable appetite for knowledge and was an avid reader. He and
Jeanne traveled extensively through Europe and North and South America, and
especially enjoyed their educational trips to the Amazon and Galapagos Islands.

He continued to attend university extension classes, where he studied computers
and German.

He was preceded in death by his son, Bruce, in 1975.

He is survived by son Glenn of Sacramento and grandchildren Conor, Rowan and
Mairead; son Brian of Pinedale, Wyo., and grandchildren Sarah, Forrest and
Logan; and daughter Beryl Beckwith of Alameda and granddaughter Robyn.

Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers or donations, the family requests
that those wishing to remember him plant a tree, encourage growth in a garden or
young person, hike a forest trail, climb a mountain or just give someone a happy
smile.
