As a neighbor of Roy’s as well as a friend and colleague, I had many occasions to carpool with him over the last fifteen years. I came to understand that it was Roy’s gregarious nature as much as any environmental consciousness that led him to avoid riding alone. A commute with Roy always meant the better part of a conversation-filled hour covering a long menu of topics du jour. He’d slide in the door in a diffident way, and then he was off and running. Sometimes the issues were local--the in’s and out’s of campus politics or his most recent battles with the forces of bureaucracy. More often they reached beyond, into teaching, research, the profession. Riding with Roy meant tapping into a vast network of information and institutional savvy. It was like being part of a rolling salon. When Roy was behind the wheel, I can’t say we got there fast, and there was at times an absent-minded professor quality to his driving: ideas were always more interesting to him than traffic conditions. But the trip was never dull, and we did get there safely and usually on time. And the conversation was always stamped by Roy’s trademark virtues: the wide scope of his intellectual inquisitiveness, his ability to cut through the haze of circumstance to fundamental issues of power and responsibility, and his wry sense of humor in the face of institutional and other frustrations. Thanks, Roy, for reminding me so often that life is about the journey, not the destination.

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.

I first came across him through his work. Eight Hours is a marvelous book. For mine, it was one of the key books that helped make labor history interesting, that showed that the term could encompass rather more than all those tedious, although no doubt virtuous, histories of trade unions. The book had nothing in particular to do with what I was writing my dissertation on but it was one of the most influential forces in shaping what I put down on the page. Reading it I was constantly jotting down ideas that Roy’s prose had triggered—sly little asides, sharp observations, nice turns of phrase, all were grist for my mill. Our other “pre-contact” was over a piece I wrote that was solicited by the RHR and then rejected. My letter back to the RHR pointing out some of the journal’s shortcomings—in those days, one read RHR for the interviews with historians, Josh Brown’s stuff and, of course, R.J. Lambrose, but the quality of many of the articles was not exactly overwhelming-- gave me no little satisfaction. Roy and I derived a fair bit of amusement over the years out of that letter and what I had surmised about what had gone on even though I was a graduate student 10,000 miles distant—I mentioned some of this in the memorial site for Larry and Roy told me a couple of times that he was pleased to see a version out there. I met Roy at an OAH but really got to know him when I organized for him to come to Sydney to give the keynote to the Australian and New Zealand American Studies Association meeting in Sydney in 1990. Roy gave a wonderful talk on Central Park. Roy and I got on just great—I think we both believed in the virtue of gossip and of course Roy knew all these historians and I had spent a total of 6 weeks of my life in America and knew about two people who had written a book on American history. I can still hear Deborah’s voice as I was driving them both around to some site or other—“OK, you two, that’s enough.” From that time on I saw Roy once or twice a year, either at the OAH or when I went to Washington. He used to joke that he probably spent more time with me than with friends who lived in DC or NY. At first I used to stay with Roy because I was scrimping and scraping to afford to be in America but I carried on staying over on Jackson street even when I could charge a hotel bill up to a research grant. The reason was simple—the best way to talk to Roy was to be there at breakfast (tho I must confess jet lag meant I usually emerged from my room rather later than Roy and Deborah) or in odd minutes here and there during the day. And we talked, and drank coffee, and talked some more. When I think of Roy a whole series of images come to mind. The slightly awkward hug when we met. I was glad to see someone else mention this—I had always assumed it was just me not coping that well with the rather more touchy-feely American culture. Roy was incapable of just doing one thing at once—when a call came in that was going to take some time he’d often keep on tapping away on the computer but I also loved watching him “multitask” by unloading the dishwasher or in a slightly maniacal fashion grab some cleaning materials and scrub the coffee table or some other flat surface that could use a burnish. And I also still derive amusement from thinking about the moderately comical fights we would have about who was paying for dinner—there are some things I don’t lose and I soon worked out that the pre-emptive strike of paying on the way back from the bathroom was the best way to resolve that one. I remember what now seems a rather weird conversation from the early 1990s when Roy was trying to convince me of the virtues of email and how useful it would be for someone in my position (ie geographically challenged by the lights of many on the east coast of America). And what’s more, hardly anyone was using it and it would be good to have email exchanges. I also remember from way back then talking to Roy, horrified, as he put together a new apple computer for some of the Voyager stuff without even opening the instruction manual. Last time I stayed with Roy he also gave me hours of talk and demonstrations on the virtues of zotero. Roy was slightly bemused by friends who were hardly computer-ept but he did tolerate us ! I can’t help but think back a couple of years to the San Jose OAH. I flew into San Francisco and Larry Levine and Roy were there to pick me up. We went back to Berkeley and had dinner and then the next day Cornelia joined us and we drove down to the conference. It was a terrific time. And then within weeks Larry found out he had cancer and died in what seemed a very quick fashion and then Roy too was diagnosed with the disease and died in even quicker time. Roy’s illness was one of the things that most troubled Larry as the end approached—they used to have long phone conversations as Roy trooped around getting medical treatment. Roy was probably the most generous person I have ever met, certainly by a considerable distance the most generous academic or historian. He was also very principled, perhaps ethical is the right word. When Roy spoke at the memorial for Larry Levine he quoted from me about Larry’s aggressive egalitarianism. I’d use the same words for Roy although in tone and manner the two were rather different. I’d also add that Roy was very sharp—I loved talkingt o hima bout books or articles we had just read. It was getting to know people such as Roy and Larry Levine that showed me the possibility of an egalitarian, inquiring and open-minded academe creating exciting history, a vision that I immediately contrasted with the dead hand of Oxbridge—crabbed, close-minded and wearing tweed jackets with leather patches—that held such sway in Australia for so long. Roy and Larry were very large factors in my embrace of many things American. And yet even if Roy was closer to sanctification than most of us, he was, thank god, no saint. Indeed, I found him even more endearing when some of those rough edges were, usually privately, displayed. Roy could be funny and savage at someone’s grandstanding; Roy heaped thoroughly deserved harsh words on the (absent) heads of people who let him down and had left him to do all the work even when he was very sick; and I remember him being almost speechless and not very happy on hearing some material of his being used by someone else and not particularly well either. For all that, he really was such a decent and self-effacing guy. I can remember how embarrassed he got when he asked me to write a reference for him for the Virginia award he got, offering me at least 20 ways out. The last time I saw Roy was at the OAH in Minneapolis earlier this year. “Treatment” had taken its toll and the trademark moustache as well as his hair had gone. Jon Wiener and I joked with him that if he could just dress a bit more snappily he would be the spitting image of Foucault. Everyone knew Roy but as he walked around the convention people he’d known for decades simply did not recognize him; many, he thought, were probably wondering who this weird guy was who was smiling at them and saying “Hi.” He also knew that if he went up and said “Hi, I’m Roy” these people would be mortified. That was Roy—always worried about the other person. It is still very hard to believe that he’s gone. For me at least, going to the OAH next year without either Larry or Roy is going to make it all seem very strange.

As I sit in my cubicle, I glance directly across the room at Roy’s empty office in CHNM and the nameplate for Room 483. Peaking inside his office you can tell that he intended to be back: half-full water bottles and plastic cups stand on the desk; a book with the cover broken in from the grip of a strong hand sits on the table attached to his resting chair waiting to be finished; papers on his desk are ready to be filed, answered, or thrown away. After a quick glance, his black sweater is not visible but it might be hiding on the floor underneath his desk. He planned to be back at work, just like after other stays in the hospital. Roy maintained such a strong and steadfast commitment to CHNM, his colleagues, and his students throughout the past year and a half that would have been remarkable for a healthy person, never mind for someone carrying around an ever-present opponent in his body. As we try to figure out what comes next, those of us working in the “west wing” fix our attention on the construction site outside our window. That activity provides an excellent distraction from the emptiness of Room 483.

When, with more enthusiasm than know-how, I started trying to support my courses with websites, Roy was encouraging and incredibly generous of his time and personally got me started communicating with the CHNM server (where those websites have lived ever since). Knowing the requirements of coding and encryption, but also well aware of the desire to keep it simple, Roy punched out an appropriate “open sesame,” that I’ve used ever since for many things (but not the server: he made sure that updated security required changing it there from time to time). This legacy has meant that I think of Roy on an almost daily basis and I’m well aware too of the metaphoric implications of his providing a neophyte with the means to a way.
