Bill Tapply died Tuesday, July 28th of complications from his leukemia. It is a tragedy for the English department and Clark University as a whole. Here are the tributes from the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald. [Note: The Herald obituary has been archived and is not available without subscription.] Here, as well, are two blogs which announced it, blogs on which you may enter a comment if you wish, or see the comments made by others: a fishing publication site and a mystery writer's blog, Confessions of an idiosyncratic Mind (See July 29). His death is doubly tragic given his summer solstice "message" to us all from his own website: He was clearly feeling better and looking forward to more fly fishing and vacation time before the start of school, as well as the start of a new semester.
I will miss him tremendously, and I know you all will too. Please join me in condolences, prayers and support for his family.
