In Memoriam: Robert Dexter
 IT
and University community are mourning the loss
of civil engineering associate professor Robert
Dexter, who died November 16 after a sudden
battle with acute leukemia. Dexter, 48, was
a leading expert for many industries —bridges,
buildings, shipping, and others—on fracture
and fatigue of metals. For the past several
years he served as advisor to the University’s
ASCE Student Chapter; he was also long-time
member of the ASCE Minnesota Section Structures
Committee. He is survived by his wife Christine
Dexter, his daughter Melissa (22), and his
son Robert (13).
