2002,” will raise funds and awareness for the Webb-Waring Institute for

Denver which has an international reputation for its 75-year history of
groundbreaking medical research.
Gregg Marshall ’69, a Webb-Waring trustee and a “Kili”

overnight camps to the memory of his friend and Colorado College classmate, Gary

led a life characterized by education and accomplishment, which was
supported by an exemplary foundation of spirituality, commitment to family,
and service to others, all the while presented by Gary in sincere humility.
I invite and encourage Gary Mammel’s many Colorado College classmates,
friends, and professors to join me in remembering Gary and honoring his life
by contributing to a Kilimanjaro overnight camp dedicated to his memory.”
