I don’t think I responded last year, but wanted to join Marilyn Schiffman in congratulating Nancy Hornberger upon her retirement, and to comment on how fortunate students of both Nancy and Hal Schiffman must have been to receive such sharing and mentoring.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Last year I wanted to share with the list serve the very special nature of the 80th birthday celebration at Penn in 2006 that honored Joshua Fishman. Nancy, Hal, and I were the local planning committee. A
few highlights: I chaired a session at which Hal recollected Fishman’s influence on him. I was right next to the podium and Hal had to repeatedly stop and wipe his tears because he was so overwhelmed by emotion, relating Fishman’s love for one’s language to
making this a better world. I remember thinking what a gift Hal was giving us and his students by being able to cry in our presence. Another moment that brought me to tears was Nancy Hornberger’s performance at lunch of two Yiddish songs she prepared in honor
of Fishman. Here was a scholar, and also a trained and performing singer, sharing with us her love of music and of Fishman. I am toasting and congratulating Hal Schiffman of blessed memory and Nancy Hornberger, may she have long years of good health.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

then, presenting his graduate research, as a student of Nancy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

celebration. During his active years at UPenn with the Penn Language Center and other parts of the University he loved working with you, Nancy. You were a true partner in his passion for the promotion of bilingual education and the support of language minorities.
He was always excited to talk about his meetings with you and plans for his teaching in your programs. Thank you for embracing his shared vision even though he was not officially part of the Graduate School of Education. I know you will be continuing to guide
the love of learning and language in whatever ways you can. I know that Hal is presenting a toast to you from Heaven in the several hundred languages you both love the most... Fondly, Marilyn Schiffman<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#313131">This special event is to celebrate the retirement of Dr. Nancy H. Hornberger. Nancy is Professor Emeritus at the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. She has been a
long-time member of AAAL and is internationally known for her work in bilingualism and biliteracy, ethnography and language policy, and Indigenous language revitalization. In this public event, we invite people to come together to honor her tremendous legacy
and we will showcase the impact of her scholarship through presentations by scholars that are featured in recent special issues on Indigenous language revitalization and the Continua of Biliteracy. Following the presentations, our celebration will showcase
the sharing of photos and messages from the larger community about their relationships with Nancy. Nancy will have the opportunity to address everyone, and then we will transition into a social gathering, where we invite attendees to share their well wishes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
