Comments for Memories of Danny http://memoriesofdanny.english-nku.org/memories In memory of our colleague, Danny Miller Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:04:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 Comment on Danny by carolann http://memoriesofdanny.english-nku.org/memories/?p=86#comment-7 carolann Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:42:21 +0000 http://memoriesofdanny.english-nku.org/memories/?p=86#comment-7 I, too, am at a loss for words--not a good thing for my profession so I won't advertise it too much. Knowing the sense of loss that we as former students, more casual friends and "fans of Danny" have, I simply cannot imagine what it must be like for his colleagues to have to come back to the 5th floor...the void will be felt for a very long time. He's the one professor (aside from you of course) that I never heard anyone say a negative thing about. It just doesn't seem real that someone so vital, so vibrant, so much a part of NKU is no longer there.

I am glad that you and your family were able to obtain some comfort from the memorial yesterday. We former students and always friends (because once you met Danny you were always his friend) feel an emptiness and loss that is of course minuscule compared to yours. But may the memories of the life and the knowledge of how he touched so many other lives bring you a measure of comfort in this time of sorrow. We’ll never really lose Danny because he lives on in everyone whom he touched. Comment by carolann — 16 November 2008 @ 6:31 pm 1.

I had forgotten about the Emily Dickinson/Hernando's Hideaway travesty. Yellow Rose of Texas works too. It took me weeks to recover from that one and now it is back. I met Danny when I was an undergrad and working a few hours as a writing tutor in 1985. I worked on campus in one capacity or another from fall 1987 until the end of June. As an old English major, I was a part of the family and Danny was the heart. Didn't see him all that often the last several years but it was always a treat to cross paths. I sent my daughter the paragraph with Carmina Burana in it. So wonderful. Thank you for the wonderful memories you shared. I had forgotten about the Emily Dickinson/Hernando’s Hideaway travesty.
