How sad to hear about both A.C. Hamilton and Carol Kaske. I will always remember A.C. Hamilton reciting the opening of the Arcadia at Kalamazoo. Carol was so kind and encouraging to me and I loved both her serious scholarship in print and in conference sessions and her knack of coming out with off-the-wall comments outside the formal scholarly exchanges.

Very sad news, indeed. For all of Carol's delightful quirkiness, remembered by others, she also had a mind like a modern scholastic theologian. And she was exceptionally kind and generous to younger scholars.

Two great figures, lost so quickly -- I'm very sad to hear this. Yes, I hope we do commemorate both of them. We are much the poorer without them.

Carol will be missed. She was wonderfully learned and absolutely unpredictable. I remember her planning to organize a Melanchthon Mafia, which would have occurred only, I think, to Carol. She would have made a good Godmother.

Another sad loss. What a week for the passing of giants.

I found myself thinking about Carol just the other day, wondering how she was.
What a sobering few days these have been in this space.
