BRUCE A. MEAD

CLEAR LAKE - Bruce A. Mead, 59, of Clear Lake and Cedar Rapids, died of heart failure on Jan. 6, 2002, at his winter residence in Corpus Christi, Tex.

Mr. Mead was retired from careers in professional and creative writing, film making, planetarium show productions and printing.

His career in media productions began at WOI radio and television in Ames, where he produced news and feature stories for ABC News and Sports. His film career continued in the U.S. Air Force, where he served as a motion picture production officer. During the Vietnam War, Captain Mead was unit commander of a Phan Rang detachment with responsibility for combat and recognizance film used by the Pentagon for news releases and staff briefings.

Mr. Mead left the Air Force in 1969 to pursue a master's degree in creative writing and journalism at the University of Oklahoma. It was there that he discovered a passion for the planetarium, which provided a mixed medium for integrating science, creative writing and theater. His best known show was "The Universe Within," produced at the

Kirkpatrick Planetarium in Oklahoma City.

Mead left the field of writing and producing to move to Iowa, where he started Quality Quick Print of Clear Lake. Mr. Mead owned and operated the printing company from 1978 to 1988. He was active in community affairs as president of Rotary Club, member of the RLDS Church, actor in community theater (favorite role was Big Daddy in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof") and founder of the Planetarium Theater Foundation.

Mead's vision was to combine live theater with planetarium projection, a dream that was to remain unfulfilled. Mr. Mead relocated to Cedar Rapids in 1989, where he worked for Norand Data Systems as a senior technical writer. There, he was chapter vice president of the Society for Technical Communications, received the Award of Excellence for his book on "Wireless Data Network Spread Spectrum Technology," and was active in Toastmaster's Club.

In retirement, Mr. Mead consulted under the name Sand Dollar Communications, and continued to write poetry and short stories and to work on a novel. In his spare time, he taught 15th century sailing techniques as an instructor with the Columbus Fleet Association of Corpus Christi.

Bruce Mead was born in Mason City and raised in Greene by the late Robert and Hazel Mead of Greene. He graduated from Greene Community High School, where he was active in band, chorus, theater, debate, track, football and speech. He received the Bausch and Lomb Science Award and attended Boy's State. Bruce was an Eagle Scout, Vigil member of the Order of the Arrow (Indian name "Bright Buck") attended National Camp School and was the aquatics and program director at the Winnebago Scout Reservation for several years.

Bruce earned a bachelor of science degree from Iowa State University in telecommunicative arts and distributed studies. He married Donna Maloney of Oklahoma City in 1974. The two shared the same birth date, May 18, 1942. She preceded him death.

His recreational interests were as diverse as was his career; private pilot, sailor, craftsman, wood carver, photographer, ham radio operator, canoeist, motor cyclist, to name a few. He read broadly in the sciences, philosophy, and religion. His greatest joy was his friends with whom he dearly loved to share ideas and philosophical insights.

He is survived by his beloved son, Allan, 23, of Cedar Rapids; brother, John, 55, and family of Evanston, Ill., and a throng of friends.

Memorial services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at Ward-Van Slyke Colonial Chapel, 101 N. Fourth St., Clear Lake.

Visitation will be held one hour before services Saturday at the chapel, (641) 357-2193.
