I have just found out that Dr. Mordkhe Schaechter, linguist, teacher, editor, lexicographer and mentor to so many of us, has died. The funeral will be tomorrow morning, Friday, but the details have yet to be worked out. As soon as I have them, I will pass them along.
Update: the funeral will take place Friday, February 16, at 9:30 am at the Plaza Memorial Chapel, Amsterdam Avenue at 91 Street (SW corner).
