[Milton-L] Dr. Albert Labriola

[Aleta Konkol]

Hello,

I just received word that Miltonist Dr. Albert Labriola from Duquesne University passed away today unexpectedly.  Although I have not been able to contact the university to confirm that this is true, I received this information from a  friend, a very reliable source who was supposed to defend her dissertation at Duquesne next week with Dr. Labriola.

I have to say that I am almost at a complete loss for words.  Dr. Labriola had a way of bringing Milton into the lives of his students so that I wanted to learn more, so that I wanted to live and breathe and research Milton and Paradise Lost.  I wish I could effectively communicate how much this man impacted so many in regards to Milton and just life in general.  I would love to read any thoughts those on the list would care to share.  My home e-mail address is lostatom at aol.com<mailto:lostatom at aol.com>. I am writing from the high school where I teach, and unfortunately, I am so saddened that I am not thinking with the clarity that I should at this time.  However, I do want the Milton List  to know.

Sincerely,

Aleta Konkol
