I am sorry to hear of Dr. Kelly's passing. I learned a ton of information from him during my time at Colonial Williamsburg. Thank you for all of the knowledge you imparted to others. I can just see him, in my mind's eye, sitting down with St. Peter and the rest of the Saints and educating them. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Godspeed, Kevin. Sincerely, Paula Jeffery

I worked with Kevin for over thirty years. He was an intelligent and generous colleague who was greatly missed by the department when he left. We left his office as it was for years--just couldn't disturb it. I pray for peace for his family.
