<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In addition to the many voices which testify to Bernard Spolsky's academic prowess and substantial contributions to a wide range of fields, I would like to share this memory which (like others) also testify to his deep
humanity and kindness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I first met Bernard in 1994, when he came to Dublin in connection with a meeting of the AILA Executive Board and Council, to which was attached an applied linguistics conference on 'language and society in a changing
world'. After one of the business meetings, it fell to me to be the designated driver to take him to his bed and breakfast, which was in a part of Dublin that is near the Jewish primary and secondary school. I had only recently learned to drive and had bought
my first car, so when I say 'it fell to me', the truth was that I was very keen to show off my driving skills and to take this distinguished scholar to give him a brief glimpse of the historical Jewish area of Dublin (nicknamed 'Little Jerusalem' in its heyday
in the late 19<sup>th</sup> and first part of the 20<sup>th</sup> century). It was a beautiful, warm, sunny June evening. We set off in the right direction, and I was able to point out some of the salient points of interest – most of the old Jewish community
has moved away, but I think I was able to convey something of the history and current Jewish life in Dublin. And it was a lovely evening. BUT the precise location of the bed and breakfast was on a street that I did not know. This was of course before Google
maps or GPS, and my own paper map was hard to read. I drove around without knowing exactly where I was going, trying to point out anything of interest, and apologising all the while. I went around and around. He was so gentle and so kind about this mixed-up
mission of mine! He genuinely seemed to enjoy this impromptu tour of Dublin, and was ever so reassuring. As the sun started to set, we eventually got there, and he graciously thanked me for the tour and lift. If anyone ever embodied the notion of a 'gentleman
and a scholar', that was Bernard. Of course our paths crossed a few more times over the years, but I will never forget our Dublin odyssey. May his memory be a blessing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Professor Bernard Spolsky meant so much to many of us as a scholar, friend, and mentor. He founded the field of educational linguistics, and he was a pioneer in the field of language policy. As moderator of the Edling and Lgpolicy listservs,
I invite list members to share their favorite memories of Bernard as a tribute to him. I am cross-posting for those who are not on both lists.<o:p></o:p></p>
