So, so sad to hear of John's passing. He was a friend, and mentor to me during the decade I worked alongside him in the History Department at Wheeling Jesuit University. Like several of my colleagues, I was a fortunate recipient of the famous 'Wack letter" when I was first offered the position at WJU. Others lucky enough to have received one of these wonderful letters will know they epitomize John's honesty, integrity and deep passion for history. Now, many years later, as a senior faculty member, I often draw on John's wisdom and empathy in mentoring younger colleagues. I think he would be pleased to know that his legacy lives on. Hope you are enjoying some good reads in your 'forever den' John.
