Comments: RIP LARRY TRASK.

Some years ago Trask and I were on a couple of hist.ling. lists together, and I always enjoyed his posts. Alas.

Very sad news. I too enjoyed Trask's listserv contributions. He was definitely influential in my early amateur-linguistics days. Requiescat.

Truly sad. Trask's posts on the various incarnations of the (P)IE list were always lucid and to the point. He shall be missed.
