I just found out about Dr. Stabb's passing. Took several courses with him in the Penn State Spanish Ph.D. program back in the 1970's. He introduced us all to the works of Borges, and I presume he was instrumental in bringing the great Argentine author to campus in the late 1960's, when I was an undergrad. Will never forget Borges in person, thanks to Dr. Stabb . A fine teacher with an easy rapport with students in the classroom-- witty with a wry humor accompanied by a smile. He was very kind to me after I suffered a personal family tragedy as a Doctoral student, and brought me back for a year as an Instructor while I got my life back together. One doesn't forget such kindness. Rest in Peace,
