In Memoriam: It is with regret and sorrow that we announce the death of Howard Marblestone, long-time Conference Coordinator for CAAS, on January 29, 2008.

“Ancestors” Spin-off: The January 9th edition of The Andover Townsman has an article describing the new roundtable interview of classicists, inspired by CAAS's popular "Representing Our Ancestors" centennial session, that will take place at the next ACL Institute in New Hampshire. The article, “Bringing the classics and classicists —to life,” includes an interview with Paul Properzio, who will portray Alston Hurd Chase at the ACL session, and refers to CAAS Program Coordinator Judith Hallett, who is also in the news for her work on Latin love poetry (and for her wonderful Latin versions of modern songs): “How Do I Love Thee? Say it in Latin!”
