Abstract
I know I write on behalf of many of our readers to express deep sadness at the loss of three
influential linguists whose work has touched our lives, our academic studies, current careers, and
professional contributions in more ways than the space here can allow me to list. But it is their work on
expanding the field of linguistics, and focusing attention of scholars and institutions of power on minority
and endangered languages, that truly stands out as a guide and enduring legacy to many young scholars.
