Czernowitzers...
It was our fellow member Natan Elkin from Benicasim, near Valencia in Spain, an almost silent follower of our List, who drew my attention to an obituary published by "Le Monde" for Jacques Mehler, who died recently in Paris:
http://ehpes.com/blog1/?p=10890
Jacques Mehler was born on August 17, 1936 into a family of intellectuals and industrialists from Czernowitz. He went to Oxford University, the University College of London, as well as to the Harvard University and devoted most of his career to language processing and language acquisition.
What a personality and an interesting carreer of another scientist with Bukovinian roots! By the way, reading his Blog on WordPress

I think that applies to our - almost silent - fellow member Natan Elkin too. In any case, dear Natan, thank you for keeping us all updated. Warmest wishes to Spain!
