82. Didn't know her, but that's a long life in service.

Saw this on an industry newsletter I only half read. Someone wrote "he showed incredible bravery right to the end" and I just sat with that for a minute.

For John Traynor · 22d ago

Saw this on the local news out of nowhere and had to sit down. My dad died the same way, pinned under a loader on a job site in 02. Forty one years old with two kids, Caitlin and John. It never really stops being a specific kind of awful.

66. glioblastoma. that's it, that's the whole unfair sentence.

70. Never made it past Sinichkina for most people, but that scene with the foundling stuck with me.

Heartbeat is one of those memoirs that sneaks up on you. You think it's about cardiology and Kenya and then it's about fidelity, about choosing a place and staying. He was 82. He never left.

For Ivan T Berend · 5 Sept 2026

Read his book on Central European economies in grad school. Changed how I thought about history as something people live through, not just read about.

Watched him do a twenty minute set at a holiday camp in the mid-80s. The man was a professional. Never forgot how he could read a room and make everyone feel included.

For Alexander Milinkevich · 14 Aug 2026

Read about him managing the 2001 campaign, then running in 2006, then building Free Belarusian University from Warsaw. The man just kept going. That matters.

She really did have a laugh you could hear from the mailbox.

To Sem Andersson’s tribute on Elia Zenghelis’s page · 5 Sept 2026

His whole life was about proving exile and return could make you sharper, not bitter. Pretty political in its own way.
