</div>
<div>Sorry to hear David that you won't be able to
make it to the SCLC this year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know we have talked about doing a Festschrift
in Bob's honor, and this is certainly something we
can discuss at the meeting. Hopefully our
organizers can set aside some time on the schedule
so we can all participate in this discussion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for the CSD, I think it's a great idea to have
it finalized and published in some form, either
electronically or in print, or both.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As concerns Bob's unpublished papers and computer
files, Carolyn, Bob's wife, and I have been in touch
fairly regularly. Even before Bob's death, she said
that she and Bob had discussed it and thought it
would be best that I come up to their house and
"clean out" his garage full of files, books, etc.
Also, I plan to take a USB drive and download as
much of his computer files as possible, at least
some of which I know pertain to Kaw. I'll be happy
to distribute whatever I find pertaining to other
Siouan languages to those of you who want it. I'm
hoping to go up and do this in the next couple of
months, possibly in early June or so before it gets
too hot. I know Carolyn is thinking about selling
the house and moving up to be with family in
Wisconsin, so this cleaning out will have to be done
fairly soon anyway. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway, I'll keep everyone posted as plans for
these things become more concrete. Things are a bit
crazy for me right now as I work full-time for the
Kaw Nation and try to finish my dissertation without
yet having another committee member to substitute
for Bob. I hope to defend in May, but I'm still
awaiting final word on a new committee member and
date from my advisor. </div>

Hi, everyone,<br>
My family schedule for at least part of
the summer has finally settled down, and I regret
that it precludes me from attending the SCLC again
this year. The earliest I could get to Madison
would be mid-afternoon on Saturday, hardly the
appropriate time for participating in the meeting.<br>
<br>
I am very much interested in what is
decided about honoring Bob Rankin, however, and in
what might be done to make his huge contribution
to the history of Siouan and the structure of
Dhegiah part of a permanent record. I know he has
many papers that have never been published, as
well as many that are published here and there in
places we don't always know about. As early as
1984, at the workshop that launched the
Comparative Dictionary project, I proposed a
"collection of papers" volume that would be a
place for his work (and others), but that has
never materialized.<br>
Moreover, for the last few years Bob was
the major player in the evolution of the
Comparative Dictionary. As most of you know, Iren
Hartmann at the MPI-Leipzig is working on creating
a usable digital verson of the CSD. Of the
original 5 participants (John Koontz, Wes Jones,
Dick Carter, Rankin and me) in the project, I
guess I'm the only one who is still interested and
available, so I'm going to work with Iren to see
if that can't be finalized and formalized. There
is quite a bit of urgency here, because as many of
you know, the structure of the MPI in Leipzig will
change dramatically in May of 2015, and they will
likely no longer be interested in supporting
Iren's work.<br>
<br>
If any of you have any thoughts on how
best to move forward with either Bob's legacy or
the CSD, please discuss them at the meeting and
keep me informed. I don't feel like I know
Carolyn well enough to approach her about any of
this; perhaps one of you would be willing to help
with that.<br>
<br>
Best wishes to all for a fruitful and fun
meeting.<br>
