I'm sorry for the confusion about David L. Landes, NOT the historian.
I incorrectly assumed that my friend David was widely known to many on
this list. He was a fixture of the Bay Area progressives.
David L. Landes. Born on a co-op farm in the south, grew up in his
beloved Yellow Springs, Ohio. A student and later colleague of Jim
O'Connor's. We'd been friends for years but I learned only recently
that David was Minsky's TA at Washington University, where David met
Jim. David was one of the group purged from San Jose State's
economics department in Governor Reagan's era. (1974) An early
member of URPE.
Mostly, David was a wonderful friend, lots of fun and funny.
He traveled to Nicaragua during the revolution there, and to Cuba, and
he was always out locally for whatever event or cause needed him. Or
just for lunch.
Sorry for my assumption that his fame was more widespread than it was.

Daphne Muse, David's wife phoned early this morning with the very
sad news that David died last evening.
David was a stalwart comrade. A quiet, modest, generous, loving man.
Those of you who knew David know what a great loss the left
community has suffered.

Is this the historian David Landes? And if so, why does/did he count
as 'left'?
