              <text>My friendship with Roy goes back more than a quarter century. We met at the Radical History Review in the late 1970s, where we were both editors, hit it off pretty quickly because we were both interested in non-traditional ways to do history, and decided we’d work together on what would become the Public History issue of the RHR. That volume was our first collaboration and became Presenting the Past, the first book published (in 1986) in the Critical Perspectives on the Past series at Temple University Press that I had the good fortune to co-edit with Roy and the late Susan Porter Benson for twenty years. &#13;
&#13;
When Herb Gutman and I launched the American Social History Project in 1981, Roy was on the first (and every subsequent) directors/advisory/editorial board we set up to help us run ASHP. Roy helped me get the first edition of the Who Built America? textbook finished in 1989 and 1991, in the years after Herb Gutman died. He advised ASHP on every one of our multimedia projects, including films and videos as well as teacher guides and teacher training projects.&#13;
&#13;
We entered the wonderful world of computers together, buying matching Kaypro II computers (which ran the now defunct CPM operating system) in 1982, Roy to do his own academic work and my ASHP colleagues and me to write the WBA? textbook. Our early shared use of computers led us to start poking around the emerging field of computer controlled media in the late 1980s. I was down in Arlington visiting one time in 1989 and Roy and I took the Metro into DC near Union Station to visit a new exhibit of computer controlled training tools and programs that some company or museum was displaying (I remember that one of them focused on training fire fighters). Out of that exposure came the idea that we really wanted to explore the uses of multimedia to do history. We’d been doing films and videos but the computer opened up immense vistas for teaching and learning. Very soon after that (in 1990) I got a call from Bob Stein, who headed a company called Voyager, who said he wanted to turn WBA? into the first electronic textbook and we (meaning ASHP and Roy) were off on the wild Toad’s ride of creating what became the first history CD-ROM, which Voyager published in 1993. That’s the origins of Roy’s (and our) descent (or ascent, depending on your perspective) into the wonderful world of multimedia.  &#13;
&#13;
I spent a great deal of time down in Arlington with Roy at the Jackson house in those years writing and thinking about what the WBA? CD-ROM would look like. Sometime in that period (I can’t remember exactly when, but maybe 1992), Deborah, despairing that Roy was never going to do anything other than work all the time on his computer, announced one night at the dinner table that she thought they both needed hobbies, things  that would get them to focus on something other than their academic work. She suggested that they both think about what those new hobbies might be and we’d discuss it at dinner in a few nights. I was then witness to the following exchange (this is not a verbatim transcript, but it’s pretty damned close!):&#13;
&#13;
Deborah (brightly): “Well, I’ve thought a lot about what my hobby should be and I’ve decided I’m going to take up gourmet cooking.”&#13;
&#13;
Roy (sitting in uneasy silence):&#13;
&#13;
Deborah (imploringly): “Roy, have you given this some thought? Have you come up with a hobby?”&#13;
&#13;
Roy (hopefully): “Can the computer be my hobby?”&#13;
&#13;
I laugh every time I think about this story. It speaks to Roy’s singlemindedness of purpose and his ridiculous intensity and capacity for work, which everyone who knew him admired and was daunted by. I learned after many years of collaborating with Roy that the best thing to do was sit back and admire that dedication and tenacity (and greatly benefit from it) and never, ever (unless you were a masochist) try to match it or him. &#13;
&#13;
He was and will always be one of a kind, a brilliant, loving, intense, supportive and totally unique human being. He will be missed by all of us for a very long time, in large measure, because there is no one quite like him and never will be. We miss you and we love you, Roy. And, as Mike O’Malley said to me a few days after Roy died, “How are we supposed to get through things without Roy drawing up our To Do lists?”&#13;

              <text>Roy Rosenzweig cannot die and as long as his students live, he will not die. I am one of his students and I carry a lot of Roy Rosenzweig with me everywhere I go. It was Roy’s book, The Park and the People, that inspired me to return to college. Little did I know when I applied to the history department at George Mason that Roy was on the faculty, that I would get to work with him as a student and as a researcher, and that my life would be profoundly changed not only by the book, but also and moreso by the man.&#13;
&#13;
My years at George Mason were the best of my life because of the collegiality created by the faculty, the staff, and my fellow students. I remember being petrified the first time I went to meet Larry Levine in his office. I diverted my eyes from the great scholar by looking over to a picture of Lou Gehrig that hung from Larry’s wall. Larry knew I was nervous and found common ground by talking about how much his father looked up to Gehrig because the great Yankee first baseman went to work every day without complaint, just like all the working guys in New York who were trying to do right by their families. I often went back to Larry’s office after that, and not to look at Lou Gherig.&#13;
&#13;
But I remember Roy most of all. He welcomed everyone into his great adventure. He was like the captain of a raft: “here’s an oar” I can imagine him saying, “and I’ll teach you how to use it.” Then he would inspire you to want to paddle, hard, up that river of knowledge. I’ve never known a scholar so enthusiastic about his craft. And I’ve never known anyone whose enthusiasm for anything was as contagious. With Roy, one wanted to stay with him forever to explore every nook and cranny that ever appeared on the face of the earth. You get that sense when you read The Park and the People. And you got that sense when you took his classes or worked at his Center. No voyage undertaken by Lewis &amp; Clark or by John Glenn could possibly have been as rewarding or as interesting as the adventures that Roy led.&#13;
&#13;
As humans, we summarize our lives in moments that stand for larger ideas or episodes. Life is too long to remember everything, so these moments stand in for feelings, people, experiences, impressions, years…. The two and a half years that I worked with the extraordinary teachers, staff, and students at George Mason are summarized in one of these moments. I remember walking with Roy from the Pohick Module to the history department office. The Center had just received a telephone call that Larry was back from California and on the walk over to Robinson Hall, Roy was happy, excited, and anxious. Well he was always a little like that. But that day, he was really like a kid on his birthday. Larry was still in the reception area when we arrived and Larry and Roy, two of the brightest minds, two of the greatest scholars, and two of the most inspiring teachers in the field of history gave each other a big hug. That moment summarized my years at George Mason: scholarship, inspiration, and humanity.&#13;
&#13;
Roy is not dead. Larry is not dead. As long as their students produce revolutionary scholarship, and send the next generation of students on wonderful journeys, and treat others with great humanity, Roy and Larry live on. And so, Roy’s marvelous adventure continues. &#13;
&#13;
Thank you Roy. &#13;

              <text>I first met Roy at the OAH in St Louis in 1989 when I was a grad student. He was staffing the Radical History Review card table outside the main exhibition area selling subscriptions. I introduced myself and told him I had read his article on, from memory, the Toledo Auto-Lite strike. As I recall he offered advice on sources for my then project. Over the years since I have exchanged an email or two with Roy. I never thought of myself as in Roy's circle of friends, large as that was, but he responded to my emails with help and friendship. I was shocked to hear of his death since I had emailed him two weeks before and received a prompt reply and like so many others had no idea he was ill. My thoughts are with those who knew Roy well and who must be having a terrible hole in their lives with his passing.</text>

              <text>One memory has returned to me several times over the past two weeks.  Roy and I met to discuss the status of the project late last summer, when he was just back from one of his treatments.  We met in his office; seeing him for the first time in six weeks, I was taken aback for a moment.  His optimistic (and prompt) e-mails over the summer had not given much indication about his physical deterioration.  As we sat down to discuss the project, however, the extent of his fatigue became clearer; he labored to draw regular breaths.  Roy explained that lately he tired in the afternoon, and that breathing became more difficult as a result.  Would it be awkward for me, he asked, if he lay down on the floor to ease the effort?  &#13;
&#13;
It might have been awkward with anyone else, but Roy made it seem completely natural--and for the next 45 minutes we talked about the status of the project, the work we’d already done, and details that remained to be sorted out, all from the floor of his office.  Within a minute, as Roy related a laugh-out-loud anecdote, I felt as if it were perfectly natural to have a meeting while lying on the floor.  Why would anyone ever hold a meeting anyplace else?  &#13;
&#13;
As our conversation wound down, I inquired tentatively about Roy’s condition, which was obviously becoming more serious.  But of course Roy didn’t want to talk about his discomfort, or his frustration, or his exhaustion, and steered the conversation to me.  How was my summer?  How was my work coming?  I confessed (somewhat sheepishly, given the magnitude of Roy's illness) that I was having some difficulties: I had just received feedback from a reader I suspected had not read the work carefully or completely.  Roy pressed for some details, and as I described the comments, he urged me to appeal.  The next thing I knew, Roy was offering, then insisting, to read my proposal himself and to help draft a response to my editor.  It was a moment that, to me, typified Roy’s generosity and his sensitivity: with everything going on in his life, Roy was still lavishly generous with his time, his energy, his insight.  And despite the difficulties facing him, he never stopped searching for ways to offer his experience and his time to others.  I was so lifted by Roy’s interest and concern that I was halfway across campus before it occurred to me that I had just piled a substantial amount of work on an extremely busy man with a serious medical condition.  Roy was always so graceful with his generosity that it was easy for me to take it for granted.  Thanks, Roy.&#13;
&#13;
In the past two weeks, I’ve spun between deep sadness at not having years more with Roy as colleague, mentor, and friend, and deep gratitude for being invited into Roy’s community, and this department, for the two years that I had.  Mostly I’m just mad at the universe for claiming him way, way too early.&#13;

              <text>I was a close friend of Roy's back at PS 162 in Bayside. He and Louis Wang were my 'smart friends.' Although there was no way I could keep up with him intellectually (in fact, I was one of those poor contestants that Roy easily beat in the Current Events bee Louis mentioned), that was of no consequence to Roy. &#13;
&#13;
Unfortunately, I lost touch with Roy when I moved out of town in junior high, but I never lost touch with the memory of the warmth and depth of his friendship. &#13;
&#13;
I have frequently thought of tracking Roy down, because I just knew he would become a great man. His decency, compassion, sense of humor and intellect were already on display back then. &#13;
&#13;
Unfortunately, it was only today, in preparation for a presentation I will be making at a CNI conference, that I learned of Roy's passing. Reading the testimonials all evening has been a bittersweet experience. Very, very sad, but so thrilled to see what a wonderful human being he turned out to be. &#13;
&#13;
So, a little bit about the Roy I knew. He, Louis and I did a lot together, often at Roy's house after school, in large measure because he lived much closer to school than we did, but also because it was always a warm and comfortable place to be.&#13;
&#13;
We'd play the standard board games (Monopoly, Careers, Life, etc), we'd go bowling (I don't recall that Roy was particularly adept at that particular activity!), we'd talk sports, and I even vividly recall that it was at Roy's house that I was shown my first Playboy magazine. But whatever it was we did, it was always easy and just plain fun. Simply put, Roy was someone you wanted to be around. &#13;
&#13;
I now know that the boy I knew, was truly the father of the man so may others were lucky enough to know and love. &#13;

              <text>It was funny one day working in the office and a man came up and started to ask a bunch of the interns there names. Not really paying attention to it I continued to work when I felt a tap on the shoulder. Taking off the headphones this man asked me for my name I said “Misha” and out of nowhere he said “I remember you.” And with that he walked away holding a coffee mug out of the lab and into the hallway. It was only a few moments later did someone mention his name did I put two and two together and figure out it was Roy himself.&#13;
&#13;
As the summer rolled on I saw him occasionally walk through the computer lab saying hi to everyone always being cheerful. Although I interacted very little with him, when he came by to view the movies he said what others say was his famous line “Hey I know so and so, who worked on this before. I’ll ask him if he can come by and take a look.” And so the next day sure enough his friend came by and helped me out a lot.&#13;
&#13;
When I received the e-mail about Roy’s death, one question still lurked in my head, “how did he know me before I met him?” And then it hit me. The day when I came in for my interview back in June I was sitting at the conference table waiting, and I remember him sitting next to me shuffling some papers as people were writing a timeline on the whiteboard.  All I can remember is exchanging a quick “hi” and that was it. At most it was a total of ten seconds.&#13;
&#13;
I know personally if say hi to a stranger for ten seconds there is a good chance that I won’t remember them a month later. But Roy was different; somehow he would remember you even if you did not remember him.&#13;

              <text>In various venues, friends and colleagues have remembered Roy for the myriad of qualities he possessed.  Let me reiterate what I wrote for the History News Network and add a few more points:&#13;
&#13;
Roy's untimely death will leave an incredible void personally and professionally.  Roy was instrumental in creating so many programs in the History Department and the university, from crafting courses leading to doctoral programs in cultural studies, in community college education, and in our PhD program in History and the New Media, one of the most innovative in the country.  He directed our MA program for many years and hundreds of students admired, respected, indeed, loved Roy for caring so much about their intellectual development and treating them as colleagues.  Roy rarely turned down any request to colleagues or students, however burdensome.  We always wondered when (and if) Roy slept--in his abbreviated life, cut short at its prime, Roy accomplished more than most of us can or will if we had ten lives.  &#13;
&#13;
Despite his many accomplishmemts: superb researcher and scholar with highly acclaimed and prize-winning books; a pioneer in digital history, a terrific teacher, again receiving the highest award from the state of Virginia for his efforts, he was uncommonly modest and unassuming.  He shunned the limelight, giving othrs far more credit for what he actually created, conceived, or wrote.  His work for the AHA, the OAH and countless othr professional organizations attest to the wide respect he garnered from colleagues in the US, and indeed, throughout the world.&#13;
&#13;
We had been close friends from the start of his career at George Mason and it will be terribly difficult to conceive of the department without his incredible presence.  I recall, when he gave me a tour of the Center for History and New Media after moving to its new, shiny location in Research Building I, that he was obviously proud of the offices, the computers and the latest technology.  However, he was equally proud of the newest office coffee machine and took positive delight in demonstrating its many attributes.  So, to dear Roy--let me raise my cup and know that your good name, many accomplishments and creative ideas will, indeed, MUST live on.</text>
