The sociolinguist Dr John Pellowe died of cancer on 12 August 1997, in 
Melbourne, Australia. His partner, Julie Bradshaw, has asked me to 
put this notice on the LINGUIST list for his many friends around the 
world who read it.

In the early 70s John was one of the founders of the Tyneside 
Linguistic Survey, based at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. 
He has taught in a number of countries -- the UK, Libya, China, Singapore, 
and Australia, and was most recently at Hong Kong Polytechnic 
University. 

If we want to commemorate his death we might want to have a glass of 
wine in memory of him. He asked that any donations in his memory 
be made to Greenpeace.
