Carin and I worked together at UT in the library in 1982. She has been my friend ever since as I frequently recall our conversations and her insights. She was one of the most authentic people I have known. Her thoughts and friendship will always be a part of my life. I started to think about her often in the last few weeks and so I was prompted to look her up to send her an email. We have lost a wonderful kind and honest friend in this world. My warm regards and sympathy to you, Peter.
In the short time that I spent as a student in UI's Classics Department Carin was an inspiration to me. Not only was she a gifted scholar and a model professor, but she was extremely kind to everyone, passionate about the things that mattered to her, and a mentor to so many people. I miss you, Carin. Rest in peace.
Carin served as Chair when I was hired at the University of Iowa Department of Classics. She was a wonderful colleague, a diplomatic chair, a keen intellect, and a wise mentor to this young scholar. My thoughts and condolences are with her husband, Peter, and their family.
Carin was one of the best teachers I encountered at Iowa. She helped put me on the right track in my career as an English teacher. My deepest condolences to Peter and the family.
