Alan Dunwiddie Wade ’50, MS’52 Dies
Alan D. Wade died on February 22, 2026, in Sacramento, CA, at age 98. He was a proud Badger, earning his bachelor’s degree from UW–Madison in 1950, and in 1952, a master’s degree in social work. While his father was a graduate student at UW–Madison, Alan lived with his family on the shores of Lake Mendota at Camp Gallistella. He was part of the third generation in his family to graduate from UW–Madison, and has thus far been followed there by two more generations of Wades, including grand-nieces Dr. Ally Wade and Dr. Gina Wade, who both earned their PhDs from the UW in the spring of 2025!
