Dear Colleagues,

I was also very sorry to hear this news. Rod was a great help to me when I first started teaching Physics 200B and C. I've still been using some homework problems and solutions which I got from him. I particularly like the figure which accompanies his solution to a version of a problem on the Pole in the Barn relativity paradox, which is attached. It demonstrates both his sense of humor and his artistic talent!

Best regards. --Shirley
