Seated, Hal Dyer of Northbrook, surrounded by friends and family, tailgates on Sept. 23, 2023 at the Northwestern University football game at Ryan Field in Evanston. Dyer was on the 1949 Rose Bowl team roster as freshman status. His number was 79 despite a photo of a freshman practice jersey bearing a different number.
Dyer received his 1952 advertising degree from Northwestern University’s School of Commerce and worked for Chicago Tribune advertising for 38 years, his family stated. Dyer’s stories include being tossed around on ocean waters on military flat bottomed boats designed to withstand major storms. Dyer had no motion sickness despite boats rocking, “like a cork,” he recalled, “taking mighty, heavy rolls in bad weather.”
