In Memoriam
Carl A. Roebuck
Carl Roebuck was my
first boss, when I started my teaching career at Northwestern University in
1963. What I particularly
appreciated was his steady and firm but benevolent hand on the tiller of the
Classics dept. At his urging I
expanded the repertoire of my teaching, and his one or two official visits to
my classroom resulted in really constructive suggestions for improvement. He made sure that I as the junior
member had a timetable that allowed me one day a week totally free for my own research. I would also add that my wife Jenny and
I were particularly grateful for the hospitality, both departmental and
personal, that Carl and Mary offered us.
They were also like substitute grandparents when our first child
arrived. I don't think I could
have had a better initiation into the arcana of the Classics teaching
profession, and I'm sure other, similar stories would be forthcoming from those
younger Classicists with whom Carl may have come into contact in the course of
his long career.

Rose Mary Wagoner
We regret to note the passing of Rose Mary Wagoner this past September. Rose Mary was well-known to CAPN members and the classical
community of the Pacific Northwest at large, especially at the University of
Washington where she earned both a BA and an MA degree in Classics. Rose Mary went on to teach Latin,
English, and World History at Holy Angels High School and later at Kennedy High
School. She was extremely active
in several Classics organizations at both the local and the national level,
having served at one time as the State Chairman of the Junior Classical League
and as National Secretary for the American Classical League. For many years she faithfully served as
the CAPN representative to the ACL, attending their summer meetings and writing
reports for the CAPN Bulletin that were a model of their
kind. She was a familiar sight in
Denny Hall and on the UW campus, where for many years after her retirement she
continued to take courses. Those
of us who had the privilege to know Rose Mary are much the richer for the
experience.
