Obituary
Richard Michael Wylie, Washington DC resident for 42 years, died on September 11 at Washington Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park, MD of cardiac arrest following several years of declining health. He was 78 years old. Born in Louisville, KY on June 17, 1934, Dick moved to Crow Point in Hingham, MA when he was 12 with his parents, Francis W. and Elizabeth (Johnson) Wylie (Betty and Jeff), and two brothers, David and William. Graduating in 1952 from Hingham High School (where he was senior class president, football team member, and winner of a Hingham High School Teachers Club scholarship), he earned a BA degree from Harvard in 1956 and a Ph.D in neurophysiology in 1962, also from Harvard. After doing post-doctoral work at the University of Utah and Rockefeller University in New York City, Dick began working as a research scientist in the Division of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. There, he participated in research into the animal vestibular system (central to balance and movement), the interrelationship of sensory and motor neurons on muscle movement, and the impact of tranquilizers on memory and cognition, Dick loved hiking, mountain climbing, sailing, music, animals (especially his beloved cats), wildlife watching (he always noted the coming and going of slate-colored juncos, which he called flying nuns because of their dark heads and backs, near-white breasts), walking and cycling in Rock Creek Park, and visiting the coast of Maine. A member of the Harvard Mountaineering Club as a young man, he took part in various mountaineering expeditions, including trips to British Columbia and Peru (where he and his climbing partners made a first ascent of at least one mountain). An anti-Vietnam War activist, in 1968 he was an alternate delegate on behalf of Eugene McCarthys presidential nomination at the Democratic Convention in Chicagoa convention made infamous by the violent suppression of anti-war protesters by then-Mayor Daileys police force. Throughout his life, he supported causes furthering social and economic justice, environmentalism, and animal welfare. Always a music lover, for many years, he played the flute with the Montgomery County Chamber Music Society in Rockville and, after retirement, took up the violin. During his retirement, he became a volunteer at the Shepherd Park Elementary School , helping the music teacher with violin lessons, and tutoring individual students in reading. Something of a Francophiletaking after his uncle, Lawrence Wylie, who held Harvard University <http://www.legacy.com/memorial-sites/harvard-university/?personid=160020873&affiliateID=2636>s Chair on French Civilization--in recent years he enrolled in intensive French language classes at the Alliance Francaise. A person of high intelligence and integrity, Dick also struck people with his personal kindness and sensitivity, humor, and charm. Dick is survived by his brother David, nephews John and Jeffrey, niece Kimberly, and former wife/continuing friend Mary. Since Dick lived near and enjoyed Rock Creek Park, he would appreciate being remembered through a donation to the Rock Creek Conservancy (PO Box 42680, Washington, DC 20015; 202-237-8866). Memorial service plans are still in preparation (for information, contact (XXXXX@XXXX.XXX)
