Roy Rosensweig, one of my heroes and mentors, passed away this week. His friend and colleague at the Center for History and New Media Dan Cohen noted this on his blog, where tributes to Roy are accumulating. It would be hard to overstate Roy's importance to his field. His vision, energy, and generosity will be greatly missed.

To us at GMU and far beyond the Washington, DC, area, it is unthinkable that Roy has passed away.
I just heard from colleagues in South Africa, devising a new protocol for conducting oral history in a post-apartheid society. They were shocked and saddened to hear the news, and began immediately to discuss how Roy's ideas profoundly shaped their understanding of South Africa's modern past.
Roy, your spirit, generosity and impresario mind reach very far!
As one South African scholar reminded me, 'when you mourn Roy, you must say aloud, hamba kahle, comrade, hamba kahle, go well, comrade, go well.'
Hamba Kahle, Roy, Hamba Kahle.
