Dear Chris, Sara Beth, and Anthony,
You had very specual parents. I know that you will cherish the memories of happy family times. Although I was a colleague from the History Department, some of our best shared times together were walking with Mary Dichmann at Toledo Bend in search of wild flowers. The peaceful setting seems appropriate. May your present sorrow soon be pushed to the background by memories of joyous moments and events together,

Dr. Fields was a great inspiration for me. I left U(S)L in 1983; to this day I continue to work and publish on Milton, and I owe him a great deal of gratitude for instilling in me a great love for Milton.

Dear Chris, Sara Beth, and Anthony,
I offer you my prayers and condolences at the death of your father, and my sorrow at your mother's illness.
I have such wonderful memories of both of them. In fact, your dad was responsible for getting Jim and me to USL in 1985. And I remember riding to LSU with your mom, when she was taking courses toward her degree.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Bert touched many lives in his personal and professional life. I recall him as a model when I was a beginning college teacher. He and Joan have also been exceptional colleagues and friends in the years that followed.
