We have bad news today. I am sad to write this. A bright light of the Cornish language is extinguished. We have a great loss. Mina Dresser died yesterday. A Bard of the Gorsedd, she was a significant woman in the Late Cornish revival. She was a friend and student of Richard Gendall, and she did her best to share his knowledge and teachings. Nearly twenty years ago Mina and friends, dressed as bal maidens, were in Redruth advertising the language and the Cornish Language Council. They were good days, learning Cornish with Mina.
