So sorry to miss you. Glad you like the conversation with Lonnie. He’s a gem.
Where were you?! I didn’t know you were there.
Thanks for being willing to serve the OAH! It means a lot.

We need historians because the past is never just the past.
Every policy debate, public conversation, and cultural shift is shaped by what came before. Historians help us understand context, trace change over time, and recognize what’s at stake.

Looking forward to this. I always love coming to the Free Library of Philadelphia.
Yay! Deeply grateful. One of the highlights of being president of the OAH this year.
