One of the world’s foremost experts on Latin, Father Foster was a monk who looked like a stevedore, dressed like a janitor and swore like a sailor.
One of the great unrealized dreams of my life was to take one of Father Foster’s summer courses in Latin. What a character and a genuine treasure for breathing new life into an ancient language and creating generations of new “Latin Lovers”.
(And props to the Times for noting his age in Roman numerals in his obituary!)

always here for a good latin joke
While most of the neo-Latin terminology I've seen appertaining to the microblogging platform Twitter has been built around the verb pipiare, I am not surprised that Fr. Reginald Foster, a.k.a. Reggie, has his own – elegant and classical – take on things: breviloqui.
In other news from Reggie, it shouldn't be too much longer before we see his book treating of the teaching of the Latin language. Ørberg has won my teaching heart, but I'll order Ossa Latinitatis sola just as soon as it's in print!
For those of you keeping track of the life and times of Fr Reginald Foster, I'd note that with the demise of iWeb, Reggie's co-author Fr Daniel McCarthy has had to move their public face to a new website. Pace Fr McCarthy's worry here, though, the RSS for their blog does seem to be working, at least when I tried it a week ago.
