Obituary of Jeff Kaimowitz

From the Classics department at Trinity College:

Our friend and colleague Jeffrey Kaimowitz passed away a few days ago. Jeff ran the Watkinson Library for many years, built up the library’s collection in Classical studies, taught courses for our department from time to time, and was a “regular” at AIA talks and other departmental events. He was a classics major at Johns Hopkins, studied at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, earned a PhD in Classics at the University of Cincinnati, an MLS at Columbia, and his translation of Horace’s Odes was published by Johns Hopkins.
