[KS] Daniel Bouchez

[Marion Eggert]

It is sad to hear of the passing of Daniel Bouchez. To what has been 
said, I would like to add that he commanded deep respect, both as a 
person and as a philologist. This was a man who taught his Korean 
seminarists in Latin until he realized they didn't understand him, then 
effortlessly switched to Korean, and who could hold his own against the 
eminent Chông Kyubok in discussing new evidence concerning the language 
of creation of Kuunmong. While I can't claim to have known him well as a 
person, I always felt that his noble detachment was complemented by 
genuine collegiality.
