Dear Colleagues and friends –
In Memoriam: David H. Porter
I am very sorry to report the death of David H. Porter, with whom I worked very closely for almost my entire term as Executive Director. He served as Chair of our Development Committee from its revival in 2000 until this past January. In that role he led an effort that tripled the number of members who made annual giving donations and more than quadrupled the amount raised. He was also an active member of the Steering Committee for the Gateway Campaign.

I am sorry to report that Prof. Carin M. Green of the University of Iowa died on July 2. Prof. Green served the Society in a number of ways, including terms on the Development, Translations, and Placement (twice) Committees. She asked that there be no funeral services, and that memorial notices be as brief as possible.

She began teaching at the College of New Rochelle as an Instructor in 1967 and remained there until she retired from the post of Professor of Classics in 2000.
In Memoriam Charles Henderson, Jr.
I regret to report the death of Charles Henderson, Jr., Secretary-Treasurer of the Society from 1962-1965. I had the pleasure of talking to Charles at many meetings of both the SCS and of the Classical Association of New England (CANE) over the years, and I will miss him a great deal. I am very grateful to Ward Briggs for writing this memorial notice for the SCS.
