Ed Clark, a noted abstract painter who achieved his distinctive effect by using a janitor’s broom to sweep paint across the canvas in giant, motion-filled strokes, died Oct. 18 at a care center in Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich. He was 93.  His death was announced by the gallery Hauser & Wirth, which represented him. The cause was complications from heart ailments.

I just feel that in most instances "died" is sufficient.  Unless you know the person or their family and/or friends or are personally saddened by a death, it just seems a bit mawkish to say "sadly".

[Sir Creep 7,070]

Pretty sure he cut/paste the sentences like I do.  Doubt he's the author of the poor adverb selection.

No, Law, Stenhouse Building was the alma mater but our classes in Politics and some subjects were in the McCance because they required larger lecture halls. Simply because of those students studying other subjects who took law as part of their discipline.

 

Sadly never had John Curtice mind, don't even recall the guy who taught us Politics.

Well he (John) looked much the same in the mid 90s as he does now tbh!

 

Alas, both subjects have been chucked out of the McCance and plopped into the awful Lord no Hope Building, as the bigger offices in the former are now taken up by the uni finance department instead.

Think I was in that building once. You are right, it was dreadful.

 

I was studying in the '80s, thanks for the compliment though!
