sad news about Suzanne Fleischman

[Isolda E. Carranza]

Dear Dr. Traugott:
I'm very sorry to hear such sad news.   And I'm sorry that Suzanne will no
longer stimulate our thoughts and serve as a leader by opening up new lines
of research and reflexion.
I'd greatly appreciate if you could tell the members of this list something
beyond her professional trajectory: a few words about her and her life these
past years, especially for those who (pressed by the work race) had lost
touch with her.
Thanks a lot in the name of those who admired her, want to honor her memory
or should know about her.

Isolda
