In 2010 my College History Professor  John E. Morby, Ph.D.  passed away; his son also died a few months earlier from Alcohol related issues.  I last wrote to him in 2009 when I gave him a copy of Tutianity (a religion based on Tutankhamon), and this was during the fan fare of Tutankhamon's American tours in USA (Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit).  

I first met Dr. Morby during a storm at California State University Hayward  in 1994 (CSU East Bay).  He had read my first novel - Eye of the Pharaoh - which was selling (illegally plagiarized by the reviewer from that University) then.  I took 2 of his classes, one from Egyptian History and another in World History, both were electives.  We exchanged letters after College. Dr. Morby visited Egypt many times, and he had slides from his vacations there.  He specialized in Historical Chronology and wrote a "Kings List" type book as a study aid to his classes.  This book is out of print currently.  I dedicated several of my later novels to him; he read a number of my publications.  

John visited Egypt before the Revolution of January 2011, and was concerned about an "Islamic Extremist Occupation of Egypt" many times in his letters.  This as you know was the Administration of Pres. Morsi of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood that was recently deposed.  He would have been deeply upset by the vandalism in Egypt during 2011.  So I suppose it was his destiny to leave Earth before 2011.  He met Dr. Zahi Hawass in Egypt once, and did not like him or the misinformation he was given by Dr. Hawass about entrance into certain Pyramids there.
