With Bernard Spolsky, the third “cedar of Lebanon”, is no more, except in memories. I have been fortunate to work with all three of them (I am 82, only 7 years younger than Bernard).

<div style="margin: 0cm;" class=""><font size="2" class=""><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif" class=""><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)" lang="EN-US" class="">I worked at Harvard University as Einar’s research assistant in 1967-68, and was ignorant
about absolutely everything; Einar was my first real teacher. He was very proud when he had read my first “real” book,
<i class="">Tvåspråkighet</i>, in 1981 (in English in 1984). We made a deal very late one evening, eating dinner in his home (my flight to Boston was 7 hours late but Einar waited at the airport while Eva was cooking…). Einar wanted to write a review of my
book, but I persuaded him to start cooking one meal per week so that his wife Eva could write HER book. Einar did not write the review but neither did he start cooking… My last picture of Einar is from our farm where Einar is holding one of our newborn lambs.</span></span></font></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm;" class=""><font size="2" class=""><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif" class=""><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)" lang="EN-US" class="">Joshua and Gella were very close friends too. My husband Robert and I had one memorable meal
in their Californian home on a Sabbath evening, and stayed the night. The next morning the three of us needed exercise, and Joshua rushed round the Stanford university campus so fast that we younger ones had difficulty following. When Robert published his
book <i class="">Linguistic imperialism</i> and some hostile reviews started coming in, Joshua told him that it is much better to be attacked than ignored.ˍWhen we tried to find a publisher for our book
<i class="">Linguistic Human Rights. Overcoming Linguistic Discrimination</i>, we had rejections from Blackwell and Cambridge University Press. The topic was considered irrelevant. Joshua accepted immediately the book for his Mouton de Gruyter series Contributions
to the Sociology of Language. At a conference organized by Bernard in Tel Aviv (no Arabs present; the only time we have been in Israel) Joshua and Gella and Robert and I shared a taxi to Jerusalem – also a fantastic learning experience.

<div style="margin: 0cm;" class=""><font size="2" class=""><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif" class=""><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)" lang="EN-US" class="">I co-chaired AILA’s Sociolinguistics section with Bernard for several years in the1980s and
also then I learned much from him. When accepting one of Robert’s articles for a Handbook that he edited, Bernard wrote that he did not agree with Robert but would not change anything in the article. Later he visited us on our farm, and our only worry was
how we could give him Kosher food. He relieved us from the worry, and even the breakfast was OK with müsli, yoghurt, and fruit from our garden. The next meal, the last occasion when we saw Bernard was in Copenhagen. We had suggested our favourite vegetarian
restaurant, and waited – no Bernard. After an hour we found out that they had just opened a new restaurant, and Bernard was sitting there, waiting, equally worried. After the lunch we had a long walk in Copenhagen, but the only building Bernard really wanted
to see was the Copenhagen Synagogue.</span></span></font></div>

remarkable sociolinguistic giants as warm and wonderful people are even more important.</span></font></div>
