It is with deep regret that we learned of Herr Moores untimely death. We recognize that he was a most dedicated faculty member at Lake Brantley and a true believer in cross-cultural exchange. We wish his family, friends and his students well in this time of sorrow. Take solace in knowing that Herr Moore's wisdom and learning have helped students in ways we may never realize or appreciate. And for that, we can all cherish the time he spent among us.
