It is with great sorrow that I report the passing to the Golden Hills of our friend & brother of ECV, XSNGH Earl Schmidt. Services will be held on January 21, 2006 at 11AM at Christ Church, 815 Portola Road, Portola Valley, CA .
Earl's interest and involvement in Death Valley and the western desert dates back from 1941-42, when his Civil Pilot Training Program relocated from San Francisco Mills' Field Airport to Death Valley Junction. He qualified for his pilot's license there and moved to a secondary instruction program at Silver Lakes near Baker, California. (Before going on to a commission in the Army Air Force, with 30 combat missions over Europe in B-17's, for which he received the Distinguished Flying Cross).
As a fourth generation Californian, whose great grandparents and grandfather arrived in 1852, he had a lifelong avocations interest in western history. He served in leadership roles (12 as president or chairman including Humbug, Sublime etc with E Clampus Vitus) with many local, state and regional preservation groups. His research and published books and articles range from the La Perouse Expedition Bicentennial and Murphy's-California's Irish First Family, (to edition ten Trans-Sierra trail Guides.) He was honored as a Fellow of the California Historical Society in 1989.
A graduate of Stanford University in 1947, with graduate Management training at Santa Clara, he served professionally with the Boy Scouts of America for twenty years, and for another eighteen as corporate executive in food packaging.
With his wife Patricia Cashel Schmidt,he was active in many Encampment roles with the 49ers. These included two years as Production Chairman. They raised two sons in the Bay area and proudly watched over three grandchildren. As confirmed Northern Californians they maintained two historic homes, one in Murphy and one in Palo Alto. They set mileage records every year for the longest "commute" to ‘49er meetings in Death Valley. Earl Schmidt, Gone to the Golden Hills.
