Brother Grace's Guestbook



Many of you knew our beloved friend and colleague, Bro. Michael Grace, S.J., University Archivist for Loyola University Chicago for nearly 25 years.  As Patrick Quinn posted earlier, Bro Michael died suddenly this past weekend, and his funeral is tonight at Madonna della Strada Chapel on Loyola's Lake Shore Campus.  Many of us who knew and loved him are still reeling from the shock and will miss him more than we can say.  

If it is at all possible, I would like to urge any of you who have special reminiscences of Bro Michael to enter them in the online Guestbook which is set up through Legacy.com.  If you didn't know him well enough to write a message, you can still send your condolences and sign your name to let his family know that archival community cared about him.  The following URL should bring you directly to his Chicago Tribune obituary.  If you click Guestbook, it will open a page where you can read what has already been written as well as follow directions to add your own message or name.  I know these messages will mean a lot to his family and friends.  As archivists, we also know how important such reminiscences can be in helping to fill out the historic record of people's contributions to our world.  What you write here be posted to be posted to both the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times websites.  I will download it and will be sure it is preserved in the Archives.  Sincerest thanks to those of you who are able to contribute.
