Whimsical Obituary

My long-time university home has notified us of the death of a former president - Stanford Cazier. He was University President when I arrived as a newly minted Assistant Professor.

Stan was a serious Mormon serving as leader of a California campus where partying and drinking were taken seriously. I always loved the irony in that pairing. It is my hope he did too, but I doubt it. In any case, he did a good job of "separation of church and state" and kept his disapproval to himself.
