A nice round-up and reflection; but want to especially thank you for your words about the College's recent loss of a wonderful, humane person. They will be sorely missed.
First, Timothy, my condolences on the loss of your colleague. Recently, my friend the historian Cita Cook died, and although we never worked together, she was such a supporter of my work, and such a joy.
As for visiting the places we study, I have long borrowed the phrase I heard from English lawyers: the locus in quo, the scene of the crime. I'm currently running circles in America like a crazed Ms. Pacman, exploring places disdained by city folk. They're all worth a visit, aren't they, including Laramie.
