Subject: VERY SAD NEWS AT U OF C

Dear colleagues:

 It is with great sorrow that I announce the unexpected death of my
former teacher and wonderful colleague Jim McCawley from apparently a
sudden heart attack last night, between 9:00 and 10:00 PM. He was walking
and collapsed. An unknown student saw the fall and Jim was taken to the
hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival.

 I am still in shock and trying to inform those who should know right
away. I saw Jim last on Friday and talked with him in my office, after a
faculty meeting. He looked normally healthy, quite energetic in fact.

Sali.
