This is the hard part of my job, especially during the holiday season.  I am writing to let you know that Lee Sigelman passed away last Monday after battling colon cancer for the last two years.  He started a political science blog - the Monkey Cage - and there are many tributes to him there as well as links to other sources:  www.themonkeycage.org  

The Sigelman Fund for Political Science has been established in Lee’s memory at George Washington. These funds will be utilized to assist junior faculty with their research, which was a passion of Lee’s. Gifts should be made out to George Washington University and sent to:

The Sigelman Fund for Political Science

George Washington University

Department of Political Science
Monroe 440, 2115 G Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20052


And, of course, contributions in his memory can also be made to the Alumni Annual Fund at Carleton.


Lee was married to our fellow classmate, Carol Kimball.  Her contact information is as follows: Carol K. Sigelman, 3025 Oregon Knolls Drive NW, Washington, DC 20015; carol@gwu.edu 


Those in the class with stories/memories/kind words about Lee can send them on to me. I will collect them and ask Hal to publish them on our website: www.carleton67.net


Best wishes for a safe, happy and healthy New Year.
