            <text>I met Roy at the funeral of Dave Sloane back in the 1986 or 7 in New Jersey. Roy was extremely engaging. I teach history to high school kids and he was full of questions and observations. I'd read a piece he contributed to the Radical History Review and was excited to meet the author, and to learn he was such a nice guy; and that through at least two marriages we were sort of related (my bro-in-law's cousin's husband!). Then when I returned home and told my girlfriend (who is my wife now) about him, she exclaimed that she knew him already! - he had been her favorite professor at Geo. Mason. where she was an American Studies major. Roy gave her much encouragement at GMU. So small, small, world, especially when someone like Roy is in it to help us all make connections historical and personal, across class and religious lines, too. &#13;
His work at CHNM is useful to me each year as I continue to teach high schoolers. (Two assignments require visiting the world history sources site and listening and reading). May we carry forward the work he began with the courage he demonstrated.</text>
