Mary - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Carol was a great leader for Toastmasters and we are all a bit poorer for Carol's passing.

Where do I begin? Sadness. In hearing this news, I've been reflecting on a spirit who brought to me a priceless experience in my undergrad days at St. Michael's College. One of a select few favorites who understood and nurtured me in a world where I was on my own.
Zeno, you will be fondly remembered by your indelible impact on my life. I hope there are the best fishing holes where you are now. Bless you, love you, and above all, Thank You.

Dr. Zeno was by far the best professor with whom I studied at SMC. Under his tutelage, I became a better student and chose to major in philosophy. A wonderful influence in my academic life. Miriam Mayer, Ph.D.

Professor Zeno's excitement for metaphysics led me to fall in love with philosophy and to eventually major in it. I believe his example helped to keep me excited about learning and seeking the truth. Your family is in my prayers.
