Bill Bright, 1928-2006
On October 15, 2006, CSILW Adjunct Faculty member Bill Bright passed away. Bill's contributions to the study of indigenous languages in the US and Mexico were enormous, beginning with his PhD work on Karuk in the 1950's and continuing right up to the present with his book on Native American Placenames of the US (Oklahoma, 2004), and his continuing work on the placenames of Mexico. A memorial service was held Nov. 5, 2006 on the CU campus. Contributions in Bill's name can be made to the Bill Bright Memorial Fund at the Endangered Language Fund.
