Neskie Manuel found dead on shores of South Thompson River (fwd link)

[Heather Souter]

Taanshi kiyawaaw.  Hello all.

I know Neskie only through this mailing list.  We exchange some personal
emails about language technology and was always encouraging when his
knowledge and expertise eclipsed anything I knew (which was ALL the time!).
His dedication to his language and language revitalization/stabilization in
general is well known.  I hope we can find a collective way to ensure his
contributions to our list and purpose is not forgotten....

With sympathy,

Eekoshi
