Fifteen years ago, when I arrived at Columbia U, David Rosner already had the kind of research career and impact one can only hope for--and yet no one was more generous or kind. I was deeply honored to blurb his final book. I will miss him greatly. RIP David the great. May your memory be a blessing.
