In Memoriam

Matthew Christ of Indiana University has sent us this memorial notice for Edwin Ramage who died on October 25, 2014.

With great sadness, the members of the Department of Classics at Grand Valley State University mourn the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Barbara Flaschenriem.

Barbara passed away on August 15, 2013, at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, following a long illness. Initially appointed in the Department of English in 1998, she became a founding member of the Department of Classics in 2000.

It is with deep regret that the Department of Classics and Mediterranean Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago announces the death of our former colleague Alexander MacGregor, retired associate professor of Classics specializing in Latin poetry. He passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on August 8, 2013, after a brief but severe illness. He was a distinguished scholar and his love of teaching made him a gifted mentor, much admired by his students. A memorial service will be held at 10AM, on Saturday, September 14th at St.

Bill Kemeza of Boston College High School reports the death of long-time APA member Brian P. Donaher.

On behalf of Ruth Scodel:

With great sadness we announce the untimely death of Kathryn Bosher, from metastatic lung cancer. Kathryn came to Michigan from the University of Toronto in 1998 and finished her PhD in 2006. She was an assistant professor at Northwestern and was going to start a new position at OSU in August 2013.

From The Baltimore Sun:

Georg H.B. Luck, whose career teaching the classics at the Johns Hopkins University spanned two decades and included studying the role magic and witchcraft played in the theology and world of the ancient Greeks and Romans, died Sunday from complications of cancer at Gilchrist Hospice Care in Towson.
