Obscure Ceremonies

[Anthony Grant]

I *did* meet ken briefly once (Albuquerque '95), and corresponded with him, and what he said to Carolyn was typical Ken - positive and supportive.  His Hocak work seems to have been largely forgotten even by other Americanists, which is so sad.

I never met Ken, being part of a West Coast linguistics circuit that had 
very little to do with MIT, but I have to say, that is a wonderful bit of
encouragement for a professor to give to a grad student. And of course, he
was right. :-)
