When you find out that a friend is under contract to write the same entry for the same encyclopedia as you. Can’t wait for the editors response…encyclopedia games?

And call me the angel of death but I only found out last week that Ted Champlin died and he too deserves to have his life and work celebrated. If anyone could just spread the word. I am a little baffled how people like Ted are just passing away with so little attention.

A request…I don’t have a lot of followers but two people who knew Bill Metcalf well didn’t even know he died (thank you Carlos for posting so I saw). People should know he is no longer with us. He was a fine scholar and a better man.

It seems that some watch these types of videos as an 'instruction manual' vs a 'cautionary tale'. This film was made in 1947 to warn the future generations about what you can do to help prevent the rise of fascism.

So I have to write a bio for a collection of paper that I contributed to. I thought I would share my first draft for feedback.

So my first post here is an obituary and yet again I am the angel if death.
Now gone from my days as an asst prof: Ramsey McMullen, JoeSolodow and now Walter Goffart. Oddly enough I didn’t know Walter’s last name. I only thought of him as Walter or Roberta’s husband. May his memory be a blessing.
