For a Historian, Dying Young in memory of Roy Rosenzweig, 1950-2007 <pre> By a pond, by a hospital, a bird, feathers as starched and white as nurses' uniforms used to be, stalks a muddy bank in red high heels. Down into the muck of Florida go eight scarlet inches of decurved beak as if, tired of the clay that passes for food in the afterlife, an ibis has stepped from a frieze in some young pharaoh's tomb to feed. Past a pool of ketchup where a French fry fell, beak and claw leave their marks in mud. Herodotus, father of history, father of lies, if you're the thin shade under a palm tree across the water, tell me a story that doesn't end with my reading in the Times today that emptiness sits at a desk in Virginia where Roy should be. No longer does his computer glow and thrum: let the tree frogs of Arlington take note. Let a crow call us to preen our black feathers. Down leaf-littered sidewalks, down streets that sag under the names of long-dead presidents-- is that Death the worker making his way in sober suit? A crumpled page, a fallen leaf--gone too soon, the labor historian, late of Lincoln Street. </pre> --Debora Greger I shared an office with Deborah in her first and my only year at Mason. By the spring of that year, there was mention on her part of someone she was seeing, someone who sometimes came to town. We all know who that turned out to be! And how we all miss him.

For almost thirty years, every December I would arrive in Washington and spend two nights with Deborah and Roy. My own Debora had been Deborah Kaplan’s office partner at George Mason in 1977. (Debora Greger once put up a sign that identified the occupants as Ms. Reading and Ms. Spelling, leading one student to knock and ask, “Is Professor Spelling here?”) Sometimes we’d go out to dinner; sometimes we’d sit for a couple of hours around their dinner table, catching up. Absences are what we feel, fractions of life what we remember. This is what I remember: Back in the darkness of the Reagan administration, Deborah saying, “Well, there’s this guy . . .” The old Jackson Street house, before the renovation. Down the hall narrowed by bookcases lay the entrance to Roy’s cave, pieces of computer equipment piled one on another in geological strata, most of them interconnected in mysterious fashion. He was the only person I knew who had two computer screens. Roy explaining the secrets of PINE, when hardly a year before I had declared I would never use email. The mustache, grayer over the years. And larger? His shrug. His quiet laugh. His Blackberry. Roy thinking. Things Roy never said: This time I’m going to vote straight Republican. I’m really looking forward to that new Jane Austen film.

I’ve learned so much from reading all the entries here, but it’s also reinforced what we all already knew—Roy was a unique, wonderful person who enriched the lives of many hundreds of people through friendship and personal contact, as well as hundreds of thousands of people through his work. I want to add in four ideas: 1. ROY WAS A LIFELONG FRIEND. Because so many of his friendships started with collaborative work projects, it would be easy to assume that his friendships required work relationships. But instead, Roy maintained close friendships with individuals he first met in elementary school, junior high, high school, college, his time in England, and elsewhere. I don’t know anyone else who remained connected to so many earlier parts of his or her life. When you became a friend with Roy, he became your friend for life. He was able to do this because of his tremendous energy, his generosity, and his sincere interest in other people, their experiences, and their ideas. 2. ROY KNEW HOW TO HAVE FUN. Yes, he worked long hours and may not have relaxed as much as most people, but he also knew how to have fun away from work. He loved movies and he was always interested in trying new experiences. During graduate school, when he was writing about working class leisure, a group of us decided to expand our leisure-time horizons and try out various modern recreational pursuits we hadn’t previously tried, or hadn’t done since childhood. We rode the largest wooden roller coaster in Massachusetts, played skee ball, went candlepin bowling, watched harness racing, attended professional wrestling matches, bet on jai alai, and more. Roy was open to a wide range of experience and got enjoyment from all of it, never looking down on any of it. 3. ROY TRIED TO SQUEEZE THE MOST OUT OF A DAY. As many people have written, Roy was well known for multi-tasking in order to accomplish more than the rest of us could in a given hour or day. When he was in graduate school, he tried a unique strategy in order to get more done. For a time when he was working on his dissertation, he had no teaching or other tasks that had to be done at a set time, so either consciously or unconsciously he began living on a 26-hour-a-day schedule. Every day he would work a couple of hours later and stay up a couple of hours later. On Monday, he might go to sleep at 1 and get up at 8. Then on Tuesday, he would go to sleep at 3 and get up at 10, and so on. Those of us in the apartment got used to seeing Roy eat breakfast at all hours of the day and night. 4. ROY WAS PART OF A STRONG PARTNERSHIP. Roy and Deborah made a great team. They complemented each other so well and brought out the best in each other. It was nice to watch them interact with each other. To those of us on the outside, they had a strong identity as a couple while giving each other room to have their individual interests and express their individual unique personalities. When visiting them, one would have three good experiences—one with Roy, one with Deborah, and one with the two of them together. Roy was a great person and a great friend. As so many other people have observed, he made a significant difference in my life. He taught me important skills and lessons, he helped me succeed professionally, he brought me joy, and he was always there to help when I needed him.

I only knew Roy for a little over a year, but I can tell you one thing about the guy: he really liked apples. When Roy ate an apple – as he did at nearly every lunch – he began in a completely ordinary fashion, orbiting around the fruit with a series of bites just like anyone else. Move along, nothing to see here. When only what might be considered a typical apple core remained, Roy then began to take smaller nibbles of the few remaining bits of fruit flesh, exposing now the seriously fibrous components of the apple. Again, nothing you or I haven’t done with an especially delicious apple or on a particularly empty stomach. If the stem hadn’t already come off of its own accord, Roy now removed it, a signal to those in the know (Population: Me) that things were about to get a little weird. All attention had up to now remained essentially tangential or parallel to the surface of the apple, but now Roy turned inward, attacking the core itself. No matter how many times I witnessed this performance, which by the way was entirely wordless and unselfconscious, I kept expecting him to stop, to pitch the core in the garbage can, to call it a day. But Roy persevered. Woody fibers, shiny black seeds, even that little desiccated flowery thing on the bottom. Amazingly, everything went down the hatch. Before meeting Roy, I had never before witnessed any such display nor do I expect to see it duplicated ever again, and here you might expect me to conclude that such voracity suggested Roy’s zest for life or his constitutional inability to do anything halfway. Or perhaps to propose something even more hackneyed along the lines of a paradise lost or a special affinity for the fruit of the tree of knowledge. I think he just really liked apples.
