Sent postcards. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman 7/ He was at my side--always. Everything I wrote. Every podcast and webcast. He watched, listened, and cheered me on. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman 6/ We met when I was just out of college. I'd been studying Hamilton for a long time--& Richard was bighearted enough to want to talk history w/an untrained relative stranger, a receptionist at an ad agency. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman 5/ He was also the truest of friends. He and I were close friends for almost 36 years. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman 4/ He was dedicated to his students at CCNY. He was beyond proud when they did well there -- and did well beyond. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman 3/ He was a brilliant scholar--with a truly AMAZING understanding of the founding period and "the guys" as he & I called them. (The Founders). npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman 2. Richard just died--unexpectedly. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman 1/ OK. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman For the folks who keep insisting that DJT could decide for himself what’s a personal document (vs a presidential document), here’s what the National Archives offers on that front (essentially saying—NO). And here’s the link: npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman History is always happening, of course. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman New addition to my home library, coming this fall from Library of America: npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman Holy crap. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman The magic of the bar at the Willard Hotel. I’m always holding forth with people about history. Has never happened like this anywhere else, but almost always happens here. Did the person I was talking to look up my book on Amazon? Yes. Yes, he did. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman Given that we're between Mother's Day and Father's Day -- I'm sending energy to people whose parents' mental and/or physical health is compromised. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman Yet another way to undermine democracy. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman This is extraordinary. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman Given my historical expertise, it's never good when people send me videos of legislatures. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman I'm honored to say that I've been awarded the Paul Gagnon Prize by the National Council for History Education for my contributions to history education. npub15flecxyxa258muk7ty8luq3n8cmz57tjnjmea3qjfv0ng9rtc4rst2lsny Joanne Freeman I have NO patience for people who claim that historians should be producing traditional scholarship and not addressing the public.
