Hal Rothman...

died from complications due to ALS yesterday. Below is the notice from H-net and here is a nice article about him from the Las Vegas Sun.

Friends,

Below is a message sent out by the chair of the department of history at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

I am sure many of you knew Hal Rothman, and many more knew his wonderful work. He was a smart guy, a shrewd historian, a fine citizen, a wonderful father and husband, and, as he showed us in the last year and a half, a very, very brave man.

Personally, I'll miss my good friend. Few have been more fun to argue with.
