Abstract

CAKL O. Sauer* 1935, newly graduated from the University of Chicago, where he had studied geology and mathematics along with geography. He made his own way through college in those depression years, some- David I. Blumenstock first came to Berkeley in the summer of what by aid of scholarships, then of very modest amounts and under sharp competition. That he held three scholarships in his undergraduate days does not mark him as an award hunter but as necessitous and enterprising. His interest in money never extended beyond im- mediate and minimal needs until his marriage in 1946 when his wife Nancy began to inform him gently of the uses of a household budget. prestige. I do not know nor think that he ever took a position for its salary or The graduate years at Berkeley turned him to climatology, working under John Leighly, jointly exercising their mathematical bents on the dynamics of weather. David was a member of my weekend field course, at that time directed to the Marin shore north of San Francisco. It was a lively group, sparked in particular by himself and Erhard Rostlund, complementary personalities who formed a lifelong friendship. Surf and tide, cliffed
