<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>What a tragedy. I still can't believe it. Although I've met Carolyn at Siouan&Caddoan conferences only, there was quite some exchange of ideas between us. Her devotion to the Osage language project was admirable, and so is her scientific output. She will be missed, both as a scholar and as the fun person and great colleague she was.</FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Regina</FONT></div><BR><BR><B><I>Justin McBride <jmcbride@kawnation.com></I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16640" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am very sorry to report that our dear friend and colleague Carolyn Quintero passed away this week.
