Dear all,

Andonia (Andy) Piau-Lynch, the wife of John Lynch, editor of Oceanic Linguistics, died in Port Vila, Vanuatu, on January 29, after a battle with cancer.  Andy, who hailed from Papua New Guinea, was the National Coordinator of the Disability Promotion and Advocacy Association, Vanuatu, and the only degree-holding psychologist in Vanuatu. She was well known in Pacific circles and beyond for her work in education and her advocacy of women's rights and disability rights.

John has asked us to post a short message so that various colleagues and friends who knew her could be informed.

Andrew Pawley and Malcolm Ross
