In memoriam Terje Mathiassen (1938-1999)

[Dean Worth]

Dear Colleague,
     Thank you for informing me about Terje's (to me) entirely unexpected
death. Please convey my deepest regrets to members of his family. I
remember with great pleasure our several conversations during the Broch
Symposium a few years ago, and I added his Latvian and Lithuanian grammars
to my and Emily Klenin's personal library just last year. We have all lost
an outstanding scholar and friend. Sincerely, Dean Worth
