I was stunned by Barbara's note about John Andrew, since it came completely out of the blue. I haven't known John well at all, but we co-chaired a panel on "teaching the 60s" at one of the Vietnam Generation conferences so I got to know him some in that context. It was a complete pleasure working with him on the panel, watching his interaction with participants, and since then reading his posts on this list. I have been struck by John's genuine intellectual interest in carefully sorting through the vast array of 60s fragments to find significant strains, to stay clear (and not overly emotional) about the task of understanding history (what happened then and since), etc. And by John's sweet, 'gentlemanly' nature. I'm sure many many students have been touched by their experiences with this good teacher. Yes, we will miss John.
