Photographer to be honored at celebration

In recognition of Linda Kaye’s dedication and constant presence at the university, the Horned Frogs are hosting a “Celebration of Life of Linda Kaye.” In what Donna Biasatti, Coach Patterson’s administrative assistant, called a “purple celebration under the tent,” people who knew Kaye will get the opportunity to pay their respects Friday at 11 a.m.

Margaret Kelly, executive director of community projects at TCU, said Kaye did not want a funeral, but it just did not feel right to not have some sort of event in her honor.

Kelly said they plan on this being a celebration of Kaye’s life.

“We decided to have the event between the Amon G. Carter Stadium, where she loved to take pictures, and the D.J. Kelly Alumni Center, to honor her being a TCU alumni,” Biasatti said.

Kaye’s brother Roger Kaye, her aunt, cousins and neighbors will be there, as well as members of the TCU community, Biasatti said.

Kelly said the speakers for the event will be Jim Reeves from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Jack Hesselbrock, associate athletics director at TCU, and John Denton, director of TCU Frog Club.

Denton said he plans to speak about the spirit she carried with her and how she loved TCU.

“She made every person she photographed feel as if their photo was the most important photograph she had ever taken,” Denton said.

Kelly said they have also put together a slide show of Kaye’s most famous photos, as well as photos of Kaye that best represent her.

Biasatti said Hesselbrock will also be reading a letter from President George W. Bush sending condolences to the family.

“Kaye was as much as part of TCU athletics as Amon G. Carter Stadium and we hope this event really honors her achievements,” Denton said.

Kelly said they hope everyone who attends wears purple. The event will end with a purple balloon release and the TCU band will play the fight song and the alma mater.
