            <text>I was one of the lucky ones in the Master's program at GMU, because Roy was my advisor.  My academic career was checkered, at best.  I returned to college to finish my BA at age 35 and received my MA in 1992 at the age of 38. Between Roy and Josephine Pacheco, I made it.     Roy was such a help as an advisor - with the one exception of the night before my comprehensive examination, when at a reception for graduate students he approached me and told me that if I had time for a party that meant that I had, in fact, memorized all of the Secretarys of State - in order!   After almost fainting, he told me he was kidding and got me a much needed glass of wine!  &#13;
&#13;
I have fond memories of being in his home discussing books that he assigned for my Directed Reading course.  The list was endless, but 15 years later, I remember each one of them and make great use of them in my career as a community college instructor.  We e-mailed back and forth over the years, and he was always interested in what was going on with me.  When I learned of his death, I was saddened - my heart aches for his close friends, and especially for his family. My thoughts are with you, and please know that his impact on my life - as well as many others - has been enormous.  Thanks, Roy.</text>
