Thank you Prof Doug. I first met you in 1989 when I registered as a Masters student at University of Ottawa coming from South Africa. You lectured me in Phonology. You then became my promoter for my MA Thesis entitled Vowel Harmony in Setswana. An African Language spoken in South Africa. Due to the end of my two year scholarship I had to come back and complete my thesis online. Thank you for contributing through my successful academic journey. The good heart the patience the support you showed me as your student. May God bless you always.
