It it with great sadness that I report the death of Carolyn Rose, who passed
away last Thursday evening after a long, heroic battle with cancer. Carolyn
kept information about her illness to herself for years. Most of us were
unaware of her struggle until June, when her condition made it impossible to
continue her duties as Chair of the NMNH Anthropology Department. Even then,
she continued working on SI and professional matters through the summer,
even into her last days. 

We will provide a fuller account of Carolyn's accomplishments shortly, along
with news about a memorial service planned for early October. 

Carolyn's husband, David Von Endt, and their family invite Carolyn's
Smithsonian and other friends to attend a service this Saturday at 11am at
the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, 1 Chevy Chase Circle (Connecticut
Avenue and Western Avenue). Carolyn's sister Betsy, a Presbyterian minister,
will participate in leading the service. There will not be a funeral. A
reception will follow the church service.
