I'm currently studying at U of M, so I did a quick search for Prof
Alexis Manaster-Ramer. He still shows up in the directory as as
"Visiting Scholar", but I don't think he is here anymore. There are
several other individuals who refer to him, but nothing of his in terms
of a contact. He does have a contact page on the Wayne State University
site.  http://linguistics.wayne.edu/faculty/ramer.html  and I would
venture that his email address at U of M (manaster@umich.edu) is still
valid or it wouldn't be in the directory still.
