like both Anthony's and Johannes' festschrift suggestions. Including some
of Bob's work is a fine idea; there are many such papers and it would be a
fitting tribute. We'd need permission, of course. Basing the festschrift
around the old comparative Siouan project is also a great idea; I would love to
see that planned volume finally come to pass, or at least a volume that included
some of the papers intended for it.<BR><BR>If a festschrift is to become a
reality there are a lot of practical matters to address ... finding a publisher,
setting up a system for soliciting, accepting, and editing papers, etc.
It's probably a project best accomplished by a small group of people rather than
by whole-list discussion, once it gets past about the stage we're at now.
May I suggest that we pick 2 or 3 people for this job? I'd be willing to
be one of them, though if other folks volunteer I'd also be happy to step aside
and let someone else do it.<BR><BR>Catherine<BR><BR>>>> Anthony Grant

Although Bob's passing is a loss to<BR>> us all, he would have tried to be at
the conference if he still could,<BR>> and, in spirit, he will still be
there. The conference would be a good<BR>> opportunity for all of us to talk
about memories of Bob and to perhaps<BR>> plan a Festschrift in his honor as
Jill proposed.<BR>><BR>><BR>> As a former SCLC organizer, I also want
to commend the work that the<BR>> three organizers are doing. It is not easy
getting everything organized<BR>> and keeping everyone happy, so I can
sympathize with the work they have<BR>> ahead of them. Bob welcomed
newcomers, including younger people, who<BR>> will be the future of Siouan
linguistics. Meredith, Bryan, and Matea<BR>> are young newcomers and have
taken on a big responsibility in organizing<BR>> this year's conference.
Let's hope we have even more newcomers who are<BR>> as dedicated and
committed to Siouan linguistics as they are!<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>
Things will get worked out. Hope to see all of you in
May!<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>

34<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Hi
all,<BR>><BR>><BR>> A couple of quick responses to Jill's questions,
which I am responding<BR>> to on list in case others are
interested.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Dorm space: to the best of our
knowledge, there is no available dorm<BR>> space. The conference venue is
also on the edge of campus, and all dorms<BR>> would actually be further away
than the hotel. Having the conference in<BR>> an urban setting unfortunately
has its drawbacks: we could either choose<BR>> a convenient hotel to get a
block of rooms in, or a somewhat cheaper one<BR>> that would require a long
bus ride for participants.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> As for going through
linguist list: We certainly were not trying to be<BR>> formal; there are just
three organizers and we all would like access to<BR>> all abstracts
submitted. I have accepted abstracts that were e-mailed to<BR>> me, and if
anyone else would prefer to do that, I will happily accept<BR>> them and pass
them on to the other organizers. All other correspondence<BR>> will be done
"person-to-person."<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Of course, if there are any
suggestions as to how we can maintain the<BR>> "generously open and friendly
tone of the conference", don't hesitate to<BR>> e-mail me on or off-list. If
we have done anything else to offend anyone<BR>> while trying to organize
this conference, drop me a line.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>

wrote<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Dear Meredith, Bryan, and
Matea,<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> A couple of questions/comments: Is there
no possibility of less<BR>> expensive dorm space? A shorter walk and/or less
expense might make the<BR>> conference more friendly to a larger number of
folks. Also, it seems a<BR>> little formal to be going through linguist list
rather than directly to<BR>> the organizer's emails, regardless of links
provided. Yes, I'm sorry<BR>> to sound like a grumpy old Luddite, but surely
linguists of all people<BR>> ought to be cognizant of the meta-communicative
message of relying on<BR>> 3rd party providers for 'ease' , so to speak,
rather than actual<BR>> person-to-person
correspondence?<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Forgive me for the complaints.
This meeting date is a bit early in the<BR>> summer for my calendar, and I'm
not really sure I'm up to going to a<BR>> Siouan conference without Bob just
yet anyway. No doubt everyone is<BR>> still reeling under that weight, too.
Perhaps the proceedings could be<BR>> shared with the list? Rory was the only
one kind enough to actually<BR>> share his paper from last summer's
meeting.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> But for future collegiality with fellow
Siouanists, perhaps I'm not too<BR>> far out of line to request that the
generously open and friendly tone of<BR>> the conference not be replaced with
the rather frenzied pace of the<BR>> "standard" linguistics
meeting.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> In the meantime, thank you for the
willingness to host, and I hope<BR>> that perhaps the beginning of some kind
of Festschrift for Bob could<BR>> begin to emerge from the group
sorrow.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Sincerely yours,<BR>><BR>> Jill

from May 22-25. The rate<BR>> is available until April 22, and you can access
this rate from the<BR>>

we suggest finding a hotel on the west<BR>> side of Madison and taking a bus
to the conference. Bus schedules and<BR>> Google transit planner are
available here:<BR>> http://www.cityofmadison.com/metro/ Please note that
there are different<BR>> schedules for the work week and
