Always the Dean to Students

Dear Editor: It brings me tremendous sadness to learn of the passing of my mentor, friend and confidant, also long-time Tablet sports columnist, Bernie Beglane. I think that’s the first time I ever referred to him as anything other than Dean. He was always my dean and I was forever his pupil.
