<p>For those of you within commutable distance to San Diego, you are cordially invited to the event below, in honor of fellow Golden Age scholar Dr. Thomas Case (Professor Emeritus, San Diego State Univ 1961-1998). The office of the Mayor of San Diego will

<p>Regardless of your geographic location, however, your assistance is appreciated! If you know, worked with, or even had the pleasure of reading the scholarly contributions of Dr. Case, please send in messages/salutations that can be shared with him (and
his family and former students). Email greetings can be sent directly to me (not to the listserv) at: strother@csusm.edu as can video messages (even a 30-second "hello" and
<i></i><b><i><span style="color: rgb(0, 111, 201);">brief message recorded on your iPhone would be extremely welcome</span></i></b>!!!). Should you wish to send a hand-written card, please email me for my mailing address, and I'll be happy to receive and pass
along cards as well.</p>
<p><br>

<p>Thanks in advance for your help in making Nov. 5 a great day for someone who has contributed so much to our profession!</p>
