For many years, Father Reginald Foster had a weekly program on Vatican Radio, entitled "The Latin Lover." My wife and I always looked forward to it. He was entertaining, opinionated, slightly irreverent and always good-humored and kindly toward the interviewer. Never a dull moment! His knowledge of Latin was astonishing, and I was always tempted to take up the language again. He was one of a kind. RIP.
