Brian completed his second year in the history department at the City University of New York’s Baruch College, where he taught a spring semester economic history seminar called “Risk, Trust, and Confidence.” In April he was elected to the college’s faculty senate. He spent most of his summer alter- nating between revising his dissertation manuscript for publication and finishing some of the too-many half-finished renovation projects he started on his 18th century home in Connecticut. In July presented recent research on the Erie Canal at a conference of early American historians in Rochester, New York, and will travel there by cycling alongside the Canal. In June he and his wife Sarah traveled to Kauai for a much-needed vacation. During his time in Charlot- tesville, Brian became interested in beekeeping after reading in one of Thomas Jefferson’s letters that several hives were maintained at Monticello. As a Christmas gift, Sarah gave Brian an (empty) hive. The bees moved into their new home in late April, just in time for spring.
