Dear all, I'm sad to let you that we at Duke have just been informed of the death of Pegge Abrams, who was the longtime language lab director here and involved in many activities in our profession over the years, including SCOLA. Pegge was such a force of nature that I am still having a hard time getting my head around the idea that she is no longer here with us, and I'm sure all of you who knew her will feel the same. I don't have a lot of news yet about the details, but I would be happy to pass on information as I have it to anyone who is interested.
