<p class="x_MsoNormal">Dear Edling Community, </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">We are deeply saddened by the passing of Prof. Bernard Spolsky. We had met him many years ago as doctoral candidates when he gave a guest lecture at Ofelia Garcia’s classroom at Teachers College, NY. One of his last contributions has
been to our co-edited collective volume honoring the work of Ofelia Garcia, titled

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Prof. Spolsky was a delight to work with. He not only agreed to write our Foreword right away, but also wrote his piece quickly and meticulously. Through his eyes, we saw our doctoral mentor Ofelia Garcia’s versatility and her work in
better depth. This was the beauty of working with Prof. Spolsky. He did not hesitate to honor his friend and colleague and happily wrote his tribute. We have been lucky to work with him and will always remember him with awe and respect. Thanks for creating
this thread in honor of Prof. Spolsky. We extend our condolences to the entire linguistic community.
