Emily Rackow ’04 passed away unexpectedly in her apartment in Washington, D.C. last Friday. A memorial service was held for her at Main Line Reform Temple Beth Elohim in Bryn Mawr, Penn. on Wednesday.

Rackow, an employee of the Middle East Institute, was a Classics and Anthropology major while at Macalester. She also participated in Classics Department-sponsored archaeological digs in Omrit, Israel and Kenchreai, Greece and studied abroad in Turkey.

A memorial service will be held on campus at a later date.

    I do not even understand how I finished up right here, but I believed this put up used to be good. I do not recognize who you are however certainly you’re going to a well-known blogger in case you are not already 😉 Cheers!

    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a awesome job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Superb Blog!
