Cass was on my Ph.D. committee (degree awarded 1971). I knew him well all four years at UW. In looking back, Cass taught me some of the most important lessons about how to be a good college professor, e.g., role of doing research. It took years for me to fully appreciate his advice. I have passed it on to thousands of my students. John Gamble, Distinguished Prof., Penn State Univer., Erie, PA

A ornery old man but kind & caring at the same time. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to experience you. Parts of you rubbed off on me which I continue to carry on my own journey through life.

Thanks Cass,

Thanks Cass for your insight and advice which has guided me well.

Cass was my graduate advisor, teacher, and friend in the late 1960's. I played 2nd base on his softball team, enjoyed many nights at his home arguing about political theory and world politics, and resisted his entreaties to smoke one of his famous cigars! He was kind, thoughtful, and fully invested in his teaching and scholarship. I know at least one generation of graduate students are greatly in his debt and will miss him. My best to his family.

Thanks for all you did for me, Cass.

I only became acquainted with Cass this past year at Wallingford Center and thoroughly enjoyed being with him.
He will be greatly missed.
