RIP Steve Frankino

I wanted to say just a few words about my colleague Steve Frankino, who passed away last week. Steve had been undergoing treatment for recently-diagnosed lung cancer, and left us more suddenly than anyone expected. I am sure many of our readers in legal education knew Steve: he had been dean at three Catholic law schools (Villanova, CUA, Creighton) for almost 25 years. He was a devout Catholic, and one deeply learned in the Tradition. He deaned in an era in which Catholic law school deans tended to be quieter in public about the connection between faith and legal education than we are now, but in his subtle way he epitomized the best of what we can be.  Steve leaves behind a legion of friends; I know we will all miss him terribly.
