SSILA is saddened at the passing of Victor Golla, one of our founding members and the SSILA Secretary/Treasurer and Newsletter and Bulletin Editor from 1982 - 2007. He is the namesake for the SSILA Victor Golla Prize that honors SSILA members who have devoted their careers to linguistic scholarship and service to the scholarly community, just as he had done. We plan to have a memorial for him, and other long-time SSILA members, at the 2021 Annual Meeting online, January 21-23. In the meantime, here is the in memoriam for him that appeared on the LSA website, in colleagues’ own words. And here is a delightful tribute to his life from his hometown newspaper, the Lost Coast Outpost.
