Dear Bob,

Jean's brilliant leadership of the speakers series at Trenton State College was a source of satisfaction and admiration for me during my years as Dean of Arts and Sciences. It was a pleasure to get to know both of you and to be a guest at your elegant home. I also recall with fondness your fine joint talk on Dante at the meeting of the Association for Core Texts and Courses in New Brunswick some years ago.

The world will be a less interesting place without Jean. ...

Thank you, Jean for the many wonderful poetry classes I was part of. I learned so much, and I took so much away. I have your books and the helpful notes you shared. A privilege to be taught by you, and to know you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
