My memory

Dear Nanette

I am very saddened indeed by this unwelcome news. Frances (and you yourself, Nanette) were rocks on which the reputation of NCELTR for service to the AMEP community, our graduate students in Linguistics at home and overseas, ourselves and the many international and national correspondents we had, was built; ever ready to offer wise and informed opinion about resources, always on top of the game, and above all leaders in establishing a research community of a quite original kind. I cannot say how much we profited from her expertise. I have always seen her work, yours, and that of her other colleagues, as quite selflessly supportive of what was, above all, a collegial and imaginative enterprise in NCELTR Resources.

I am deeply sorry.

Chris

I am deeply grateful to Frances for the extraordinary assistance she gave to myself, my students and to every person who used the NCELTR Resources Centre, a centre whose great success was due in no small part to her unremitting efforts. No request was ever too difficult. Thank you Frances for your warmth, your assistance, you enormous expertise and the welcome you extended to users of the Centre.

Frances was a complete professional. Like her colleagues in the NCELTR Resource Centre, she gave unstintingly of her expertise and her time to help students and staff. I personally owe much to her professionalism as a colleague in NCELTR and also for her help in finding materials for my own research. Without her help, my research would have been the poorer. And, she performed her work with humour and gentle kindness. Thank you, Frances.
