Michael misses his time at Queen’s (2002–2004). He is now working as a professional financial copy editor at PwC Canada (in Montreal) and as a freelance academic editor on the side; he enjoys keeping one foot in the scholarly world. Michael learns a lot each time he reads a manuscript or an article. He was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of his teacher and supervisor, Professor Caroline Falkner of the Classics Department – brilliant and hard-working and a pleasure to be around – and made a modest contribution to the department in her honour. He still stays in touch with Professor Kavanagh, who is a scholar and a (good-humoured) gentleman. He wishes everyone at Queen’s, in every unit and department, all the best. He hopes to visit sometime soon.
