Sad News: Tanta Vive
It is with great sadness that I learn that Tanta, and influential
voice on the mortgage crisis, died early morning on November 30, in Columbus, Ohio.
I never had the opportunity to meet her, but read much of her
postings. She taught many with her words and wisdom. She will be
missed.
Calculated Risk will be announcing a charity of Doris' soon if you would like to contribute. Please visit Calculated Risk for more information.

My
dear friend and co-blogger Doris “Tanta” Dungey passed away early this morning.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to her family and friends.
From The New York Times:
Thanks in large part to Tanta’s contributions, Calculated Risk
became a crucial source of prescient analysis as the housing market at
first faltered, then collapsed and finally spawned a full-blown credit crisis.
Tanta
used her extensive knowledge of the loan industry to comment, castigate
and above all instruct. Her fans ranged from the Nobel laureate Paul
Krugman, an Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times who cited her in his
blog, to analysts at the Federal Reserve, who cited her in a paper on
“Understanding the Securitization of Subprime Mortgage Credit.”
She
wrote under a pseudonym because she hoped some day to go back to work
in the mortgage industry, and the increasing renown of Tanta in that
world might have precluded that. Tanta was Ms. Dungey’s longtime family
nickname, Ms. Stickelmaier said.
