  Alms for Oblivion:
  
  

  In memory of Akkadian scholar
  Erica Reiner, who died at 81 on
  December 31, 2005.

  “Erica combined a tough-minded commitment to intellectual
  excellence with a dry wit, charm, and a deep love of art, music,
  and literature.  Erica’s passion for her work was legendary.
  She was someone who expected the very highest standards of scholarly
  rigor both in her own work, and in the efforts of others.”

  – Gil Stein, director of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago

  A Mass for Dr. Reiner
  was scheduled for
  Friday the 13th
   
  at the church of
  “doubting Thomas”–
  St. Thomas
  the Apostle
  in Chicago.
