Notice on Prof. Mauch in the Cape Cod Times

You all may remember that I posted on Prof. Mauch's death this summer not too long ago (click here). Prof. Gettier has just passed along to me a link to this notice published recently on Cape Cod. It's a very nice tribute to Ted:

He was a popular teacher at Wellesley College in Massachusetts and from 1957 to 1987, he was a professor of religion at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.A builder of fine stone walls and an avid gardener, he grew over 60 varieties of prize-winning irises in his East Orleans garden, as well as cherry tomatoes, rhubarb, raspberries, currants and English holly.

His beloved old ship's bell that he rang every morning to greet the day now hangs in a corner of the garden.An avid Red Sox fan, his proudest possessions were Red Sox memorabilia given to him over the years by his many friends.
