HOL

It grieves the Head Office to announce the passing of one of our Headmaster Emeritus, Prof. Ulol Kimil.

This castle has been a sanctuary of friendship and fantasy for so many who’ve spent time here, affording us all a magic which could never have been grown or maintained without the passions of people like Ulol breathing life into these walls, and encouraging the ever changing staircases of HOL.

From the Mayan Language, u’lol kimil translates into “flower of the death.” A meaning as endearingly bittersweet as the man who wore it.

May we offer up our flowers of farewell to an honorable wizard whose presence we were so fortunate to have been gifted with.

(Beautiful words by Prof. Sindor Aloyarc)

Even though Headmaster Ulol was before my time here on HOL, I sense a loss at his passing. May fair winds guide his journey to the heavens and beyond.

I think I was just too late to really appreciate Ulol, though he was Headmaster my first two years at the school.

That said, his spirit and sense of humour lives on - as well as his true sense of magic, which lives on through all of us. I cannot imagine what HOL would have been like without Ulol... and his views of charms may very well have influenced a course or two that I have taught over the year!

His name will always be remembered, and he will very much be missed!

Navla, Fluffy Pink Slipper.

You who changed my House and HOL name to different Houses and different names -- and threatened me with sheets with holes in them.

HOGWARTS: Which House Are You?

I was so saddened when Professor Opal told me of your passing on the 22nd.

I posted this, elsewhere ...

Sad.
Navla, Fluffy Pink Slipper. Aka Ulol Kimil , [ ]. Very sad.
Professor Opal told me just now of your passing.

Your love of books was inspirational. Little random things --

You had a map of Neverwhere, and talked of it so much I had to purchase my 20th anniversary copy of the BBC show just to have that map for myself.

Knowing I love "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." you sent me the tote bag with Inigo Montoya shown on one side (and words to The Princess Bride covering the whole thing).

Eh. I've got to stop now, getting sad again. But I wanted folks who hadn't met you to have an opportunity to see you a little bit through my memories. You're a very good person. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I wasn't here at Hol when you were Headmaster, but thank you for all that you contributed to everyone and the rooms, corridors of Hol, for creating so many positive and happy memories for others and for keeping it all going so that other students could arrive after you left as Headmaster.
