Many of you knew her from our conferences or from the large <br>number of papers that she wrote about Lakota grammar. I only learned of <br>this about 10 days
ago. I didn't report it until I could confirm what to <br>me was second or third hand news.<br> According to the best current information I have, she got some <br>kind of food poisoning in a restaurant and was unable to recover. For <br>about a year, I'm told, she simply got weaker and weaker.<br> A friend of mine from the Univ. of Cologne is in contact with <br>Regina's mother. She (my friend) and I hope to be able to prepare a <br>proper memorial essay before long, acknowledging and honoring Regina's <br>considerable contributions to several areas of linguistics, <br>including Lakota studies.<br> Best wishes to all of you.<br> David<br><br><br>David S.
