List, Nathan Houser wrote to me this evening with the news of the passing of Dan Roberts.
Nathan wrote: I have some unhappy news that you may want to share with the list, especially given the recent and continuing thread on EG. Don Robert’s son called me yesterday to inform me that Don died on March 4. He died in his home on Vancouver Island. Don’s wife, Beverley Kent, who wrote the book on Peirce’s classification of sciences, died eight days later on March 12. They had both been in poor and deteriorating health. I wrote in reply: There is hardly a discussion of EGs which does not reference Roberts' work including, as you remarked, the recent one on Peirce-L. As for Kent's book on the classification of sciences, while there is surely *no* work that I am anywhere close to knowing 'by heart', if recurring study of any book were to approach at least a very thorough familiarity for me, along with your two volumes of *The Essential Peirce*, Kent's book would most certainly qualify. I can't imagine making my recent presentation at APA without once again having consulted her ground-breaking monograph. Should I receive additional information, I will of course post it to Peirce-L Best, Gary
