Dear Julia - I got to know Carole Carpenter quite a long time ago - too long to remember exactly when. Perhaps it was at your wonderful Sheffield Conference? Carole spent some months in Australia in 2000, as a Harold White Fellow at the National Library in Canberra, where she undertook a number of interviews with children's literature and folklore scholars, as well as quilters - she had wide folkloric interests. It was always a pleasure to meet up at various times in Canada and the US. She was an energetic, determined and very well-organised person with a passion for children's folklore and for education. A scholar with global interests, she enlarged the study of childhood and children's culture in Canada and influenced many American colleagues. She will be missed.
Regards,
June

Dear all,
I am sorry to pass on the news which I picked up from the Children's Folklore Section of the American Folklore Society that Carole Carpenter has recently died. Libby Tucker posted on their Facebook page:
Very sad to hear, during the memorial announcements at AFS, that Carole Henderson Carpenter passed away October 18. She contributed so much to the study of Canadian children's folklore and was an inspiring president of the Children's Folklore Section
And there is an announcement at the link below:
http://yfile.news.yorku.ca/2017/10/31/passings-professor-carole-carpenter-founded-york-us-childrens-studies-program/
The 1998 Sheffield conference has been mentioned in connection with Iona's keynote address but Carole was also there and her paper became one of the articles in the Play Today in the Primary School Playground book that Mavis and I edited.
If anyone has further details of Carole's life and/or would like to pay tribute to her, please feel free to share you thoughts with others on this list.
Best wishes, Julia
Julia Bishop
