GREETINGS FROM THE CHAIR
Academic year 2001-2002 proved an exciting year for the
department, a year replete with successes, challenges, helloes
and goodbyes. Kind of like life, then, in many ways. By far the
best news we had all year related to Jim Leloudis's amazing, even
miraculous recovery from a fall in June 2001 that for a time had
left him pretty much paralyzed from the chest down. After
intensive rehab and two surgeries, Jim was walking by the end of
the summer, and back to normal by the end of the autumn (not the
"fall") term. The degree of support Jim received from both the
department and the entire extended UNC family was inspiring,
especially in these cynical times. Cheers, Jim.
If Jim's recovery lifted our spirits, the retirements of two
distinguished colleagues, Larry Kessler and Bill Leuchtenburg,
had more complicated effects on the department. On the one hand,
we feel privileged and honored to have been part of the same unit
with Larry and Bill for so many years; on the other, we will miss
both men terribly. Their profound contributions to various
constituencies--students, the department, the university, the
public, and the profession--simply cannot be recouped. Luckily
