I used Ti Koze Kreyòl to learn Haitian Creole. I also use your dictionaries. Thank you for making your work freely available. Your generosity has been felt by many.

Mwen regrèt anpil pou m tande dènye lanmò Dr Freeman (Tonton Liben). Nou te rankontre pandan jou Aristide, koudeta, ak anbago. Jenere ak tan ak materyèl li, asistan li te endispansab nan aprann fason yo ak pawòl pèp ayisyen an, yon pèp li te renmen ak respekte. Kenbe pa lage!

I knew Dr. Freeman when I was a young undergraduate student who didn't know what I wanted to study at KU. I knew I loved learning languages, and had studied French through my high school years. So the culture side, rather than the grammar side, of the French Department got my attention. I probably took more than one class from Dr. Freeman. However what I remember most is his love of his orange and white Clumber Spaniels. I don't know how we ended up talking about his dogs and my orange and white English Setter. We must have ended up running into each other walking with our dogs. I know I had never seen a Clumber Spaniel before that. So, I remember Dr. Freeman for love of dogs. And for a lost undergraduate student at a large university, that connection was very meaningful, and Dr. Freeman was very memorable. I hope his loved ones continue sharing stories about him, and find some comfort in those memories.

Bryant (we called him "Mr. Freeman" in the UVa style...) was the faculty adviser to the Jefferson Chapter of the Virginia Council on Human Relations--the only civil rights group allowed on campus--in 1963-4. I (a lowly first year student) noticed a lack of many civil rights oriented books in the library (remember, this was the age of segregation, and several of my fellow students lived in Virginia counties where public schools had been closed to avoid integration). Bryant said that one of his privileges as a faculty member was to recommend books for purchase, so I made him up a long list, which he duly submitted. I am sure some eyes were raised as to why a French teacher was recommending Jackie Robinson's "Baseball Has Done It," but the books all came through, and thus was a small blow struck for decency in what was, in many ways, a very indecent time. Thank you, Bryant, and I send my sympathy to your family.
