Caroline Dow

Unfortunately, I didn't have Dr. Dow for any classes but we have talked several times about various broadcasting & political issues. I will surely miss those insightful debates. Good-bye Dr. Dow!

Caroline made me see the importance of passing the craft that we shared on to the next generation by giving them the best of the my own life experiences and tips of the trade. Caroline was always the teacher but always the reporter, too. She'll be missed.

Dr. Dow’s kindness, humor and enthusiasm will always be fondly remembered. My thoughts are with her family.

During my time at Flager, I found Dr. Dow to be a three year moment of clarity with the courage to take the road less traveled. Dr. Dow, on behalf of everyone whose lives you undoubtedly touched and changed for the better, I would simply like to say thank you. To Dr. Covert & family, I hope you will take some comfort in knowing how respected and cherished Dr. Dow was as a teacher, roll model and friend.

You will be greatly missed. Dr. Dow was one of the purest souls I think I will ever have the privilege of meeting on this earth. I wish I could have had more time with her as a teacher and friend.

To Caroline Dow:

It must have been that lively spark,
you always finished what you'd start.
With a smile
so sincere,
you taught us life's lessons,
and stifled our fears.
The strength and knowledge you posessed,
still helps many to succeed,
and pass life's unending tests.
Your dedicated search for truth,
could be compared,
to that of comb of finest tooth.
The compassion in your heart,
...

Caroline was a good friend and colleague. She always pressed us to do our best. I wish only that we had shared more lunches together and talked about teaching--and the whole wide world. Now I learn that she was a long-time member of the Bay View Association in Northern Michigan--a very interesting place. I guess I'll have to explore it on my own someday.
Best wishes to her family. We're all a bit poorer for her passing, but richer for having known her.

Upon becoming an assistant to her in her final year of chairmanship of the Communication Dept. of Flagler College. I met a friend, ally, and deeply strong woman who often acted as a surrograte grandmother to me. She was such a beautiful and unique person. She inspired myself and many others to become something more than we could even dream of, and never failed in her generosity. I knew of her struggles with illness over the past years, but was deeply saddened and shocked to hear of her...
