RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Obituary: Professor Arasanyin

Very sad! Frank was at the University of Jos, in the Linguistics Dept in the 1980s! He was then a young lecturer and was open, approachable, likable - a magnet for freshmen, particularly those who took his Intro to Linguistics class. On this death - his flight took off too early and it is sad indeed! May his soul find rest.
