[Corpora-List] father Roberto Busa

[Elisabeth Burr]

This is very sad news. Only a few days ago I 
thought about my meeting with Roberto Busa when 
he got the first Busa Prize in 1998 in Debrecen.

Let's strive to get so old and to do, next to the 
other things we have and want to do in our lives, 
at least part of what he has done for the Humanities
