Professor Emeritus Sigmund Eisner

Another year, Sig, since your passing in 2012 and your star gleams as brightly in the cosmos that was your second home. Thinking of you, astrolabes and Chaucer.

Master user of the astrolabe. Outstanding scholar. Generous colleague. Thank you. Sig. Regards, Jenna Mead

Remembering the great 90th birthday party at the Arizona Inn. Such a creative evening using fav Eisner book quotes to make the meal lineup. And, meeting the English couple from the best English town to get pork pies in. Both Sig and Nan knew how to be great friends.

Thinking of Sig and Nan and their families, thinking of the students, colleagues and scholars who knew and continue to know Sig through his work. Our lives and work are richer. Many thanks.

Now back in St. Louis to be closer to family, good memories of our years in Tucson include Sig and Nan. On my frequent walks I looked forward to dropping in as they were always welcoming and great conversationalists. Which we are reminded of when pouring from a bottle of Jamison's for an evening drink!

It's good to think back on a kind and generous colleague, and to be reminded of a time when kindness and generosity were public virtues.

So sad to hear of the death of such a great Chaucerian scholar. I remember our occasional meetings with great pleasure, and send my sincere condolences to Nan.

My sympathy to the family. Deanna Evans

Vale!
