Professor James Loehlin was the most complete human I’ve ever known: zealous in the pursuit of beauty, assiduous in the accrual of knowledge, and endlessly generous in support of friends, family, and students. With decency, honesty, and unfailing kindness, he inspired me and so many others to remem

[Winedale-l] Re: James Loehlin

I am late replying to this awful news because I have been away for the last month on a long road trip. My heart hurts to hear of James leaving us, and my tears will join the river that has been cried for him. May God grant him rest and peace, and a respite from all the pain he has suffered. I

[Winedale-l] Re: James Loehlin

James Loehlin knew plays backwards and forwards. He especially knew that when things get heavy, a touch of humor can often help a play. So in that spirit, I dare strike a comedic note on this page devoted to the memory of James Loehlin. Even though other people knew James better than me, I knew hi

Ah, I haven't commented on this thread in a very long while. This may in fact be my first posting. I was shocked to hear about James' passing - I heard through the grapevine that he was sick, but I didn't know it was serious. I remember him quite fondly -- he played the ghost of Hamlet's father in

Thanks for sharing this, Casey. I'm eager to read this issue. I didn't know James as well as many on this thread, but I liked him immensely. He made me feel so welcome the last time I was at Winedale. I always felt that the program was in good hands with him, and I'm sad at both the  personal l

Hi, family, a short note on the issue of *The Hare*: I organized this when I learned of James's diagnosis and it features reflections from one of James's first students (Carra), a now director of an MFA program with similar values to Winedale (Matt), Paul Woodruff (who shares memories of James as h
