Passing of Fred Blomgren


I am saddened to announce that Fred Blomgren, professor emeritus, Philosophy/English, passed away on May 11, 2005. Fred's professional interests extended well beyond the classroom as evidenced by his attendance at national conferences, participation in ecological justice seminars and review of philosophy texts for Macmilan and McGraw-Hill. A eucharistic minister at Blessed Sacrament Church, he was also a volunteer at the church's overnight homeless shelter. Fred, who taught at MCC from 1966 to 1995, made many major contributions to the English/Philosophy Department throughout his years at MCC.

He is survived by his wife Mary. Condolence messages may be sent to: Mary Blomgren, 12 Stonebridge Crescent, Fairport, NY 14450.
