Greetings:

It is with great sadness that I report the death of a dear friend, Carole Rose Livingston, Professor of English at Brooklyn College, City University of New York, and author of the two-volume collection British Broadside Ballads of the Sixteenth Century. Carole passed away Monday, July 14, 2003, from the effects of a stroke she suffered early in 2002. She never fully recovered and had been confined to hospitals or nursing homes ever since.

Carole Rose Livingston was a member of the New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club, the Peoples Music Network, and the Peoples Voice Cafe. In addition to being a scholar, she was also a fine poet, singer, and songwriter. I am certain more information and tributes will be forthcoming. Let me just say that since the prayers of an infidel like myself count exactly as much as those of the truest believer, I pray that Carole now rests in peace.
