David made a wonderful impact on my graduate history studies at UWM. I took two seminars from him. And he helped me in my last semester by providing a research assistantship (without which I could not have finished) and serving on my M.A. exam committee. He was a terrific teacher and historian -- and one of the kindest people I have known. I will always be grateful to him.

Best history professor I had at UWM and one of the very best professors in the school. I learned a lot.

One of the best history professors I ever had at UW-Milwaukee. Dr. Healy helped his students understand the depth of U.S. imperialism in Latin America.
