Not sure what to say?

I graduated from Pace in 2003 and was lucky enough to have taken numerous literature courses with Dr. Podgorski. My favorite, however, was our Capstone course, in which we read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's entire canon of Sherlock Holmes. It was such a fun class, and Dr. Podgorski always had a way of connecting such classics back to lessons in everyday modern life.

I am so saddened to hear of his passing, and my thoughts and prayers are with with his family during this time.

He was truly a great colleague, admired him, always enjoyed talking to him. You'll be missed, Richard. (db)

I graduated from Pace University in Pleasantville in 1997. Dr. Podgorski was Chairman of the English Department at that time, and was a wonderful inspiration to me. I thoroughly enjoyed studying Milton in his class, and have always remembered him for having such a passion for his work. I consider myself lucky to have had such a great professor. Pace University benefited greatly by having such a gifted and passionate staff member. So sorry to hear of his young passing. Linda Di Chiara
