  Frank Esterhill was appointed Executive Director of the Interlingua Institute by Alice Morris Sturges, daughter of IALA's founders, in 1973, and he held that post until the dissolution of the Institute in November, 2000.  During his tenure, in addition to handling the routine administrative, financial, tax, fundraising, and reporting matters of the Institute, Esterhill managed the plant pathology project for the US Dept of Agriculture in the late 1970s; he established, at the end of the 1980s, the Interlingua collection at the New York Public Library in memory of Alice Morris Sturges; and, in 1997, he recovered the archive of IALA from near-certain oblivion.  Until her death in 1986, he was in constant contact with Alice Sturges (who served as Vice President of the Institute), consulting with her and with the other board members on all matters concerning the Institute.  
   
  There were both internal and external causes for the dissolution.  First, internally, the trivialization and infantilization of Interlingua which ran rampant while UMI was under the control of Leland Yeager and Piet Cleij (coupled with the bitterness and rancor that those two had engendered) had brought Interlingua to its nadir.  Second, externally, the trustees of the Morris Memorial Fund, noting the abysmal state of Interlingua and relying upon independent, outside, professional counsel had decided that they could no longer be associated with the project, and they, accordingly, ceased all support.  In the winter of 1999, the competent directors, profoundly disgusted with the inanities which continued to emanate from UMI and no longer able to tolerate the treachery of one member of the board, voted unanimously to end the Institute.  In the words of the president, it was “preferable to give Interlingua a decent burial, rather than see it debased in such a manner”.
   
  It is distressing that an embittered individual who never played any role whatsoever within the Interlingua Institute (and in fact whose candidacy was rejected when he was nominated for the board) now seeks to rewrite history by defaming the one man who was responsible for keeping the Institute alive, against all odds, for more than a quarter of a century.  
   
  See the Closing Memoranda (June 15, 2001 and January 15, 2003), which document in minute detail the events which led to the dissolution of the Interlingua Institute.
