[Linganth] Virginia Hymes obituary

[Lise Dobrin]

As some on this list may have heard, Virginia (Ginny) Hymes passed away earlier this year at the age of 91. She was an inspiring teacher to many and will be sorely missed. An obituary <http://www.anthropology-news.org/index.php/2015/07/02/virginia-hymes/> was published in Anthropology News this month. If you go to Ginny's UVa Dept. of Anthropology webpage <http://anthropology.virginia.edu/faculty/inmemoriam/profile/virginiahymes> you can access some lovely, more elaborate comments about Ginny's life and work that were presented by her colleague Ellen Contini-Morava at her memorial service in April.

I'm attaching a list of Ginny's publications, which was not easy to compile. If anyone spots omissions I would be grateful to know of them. Ginny's field materials (mostly on Sahaptin) will be archived with the American Philosophical Society.

Those who feel moved to mark Ginny's passing with an act of charity are encouraged to donate to one of the causes to which she herself was dedicated: Virginia Organizing <http://www.virginia-organizing.org/>, the Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice <https://sites.google.com/site/charlottesvillepeacecenter/>, the Museum at Warm Springs <http://museumatwarmsprings.org/>, or  <http://kwso.org/>Warm Springs Community Radio <http://kwso.org/> (KWSO).

Best regards,
Lise
