I have been a fan of Doug’s inspiring research since my PhD student days, and many years later, I had the opportunity to meet him in 2017 at the CreteLing Summer School. Doug and his wife, Ann-Marie, are some of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, and I’ve truly enjoyed our conversations and their companionship at every CreteLing. I look forward to many more to come.
Last but not least, here is an enthusiastic comment from the linguistics students at the University of Crete: “Professor Pulleyblank is a charismatic teacher who, in his peaceful and polite way, shares knowledge, and unlocks our minds.”
Dear Doug,
I wish you health, longevity, and many happy and creative years ahead—doing everything you desire and may not have had the time to do until now.
With warmest regards,
Ioanna
