Comments From Friends

From Provost Hannah Goldberg (Full Text) Celebrating Fred Kollett's life -- there is so much to celebrate! Fred's lasting legacy to the Wheaton Community is that he led us into the 21st Century--not kicking and screaming, but confident and purposeful. He was a dreamer and a doer, a tenacious and tender teacher of teachers. He was truly a man for all seasons, and we will miss him in all seasons.

From Professor Nancy Norton (Full Text) On April 11th Fred and I will not freeze at McCoy; Fred and I will not freeze at Fenway April 11th. We could have frozen twice the same day - that is, if we had thawed between times. For me Fred was sheer pleasure. Every time I was with him my adrenalin was pumping. Thank you, Fred for so many good times and good memories.
