2001.
«All of us were interested to hear the personal memories and thoughts about
both these persistent and selfless our language defenders. They were so
responsible nations ad language workers that we can say both of them took
care about our language quality and life both, towards the enslavement and
assimilation.
Both, recently passed away culture workers, were as an important bridge between pre-occupation Latvian linguistics that in a short period of time started using free states and cultures fertile, for science and Latvianity favourable soil, maintain link between topical worlds language tendencies and after-occupations, respectively, nowadays aspirations to take care of, clear out, evaluate, widen and enrich different practical and theoretical our language aspects.
Maija Sinka adds: «Personal memories narration of Ingmars Zemzaŗis gave a wonderful insight in the evaluation of Rasma Grīsle personality as it has been seen by more than half a century younger man, who has grown up in the occupied Latvias environment with absolutely different priorities of values. He himself was having a deep look and interest about languages and culture values and he highly evaluated Mrs. Grīsles kindness and mental wealth, her ethically moral in-compliance with forced instructions and demands. We heard his thankfulness and high appreciation words said in well-founded conviction. »
