Thanks, Roy

This is more of a brief comment, than a story. I was sorry to hear of the death of Roy Rosenzweig, as a reader and student of history rather than as a personal friend. Historian Heather Goodall, from the University of Technoloy in Sydney alerted me to this, which made me think about the impact of his work, to think about how vibrant the "presence of the past" is and indeed to think about what has changed since we first began thinking and talking about popular/ applied/ public history. Obviously, Rosenzweig's work had quite an impact on that thinking . . . and it's also gratifying to be reminded, by reading this site, just how much of an impact a thinker with integrity can have on other people's lives.
