RIP, Dave

[grrm]

The news of David G. Hartwell's sudden and tragic death has been all over the net for the past few days. Most of you reading this probably know already. He fell while carrying a bookcase section down a flight of steps, hit his head, and died of a massive brain bleed

And again, the life is just a pale dot blue. Rest in peace, david.

I'm so sorry. :( The silver lining is that at least he brought so many people happiness through his personality and his projects.

So sorry for your loss.

I'd forgotten about COSMOS. I followed that magazine closely, because it was a Hartwell project, enjoyed the stories - yours and Michael Bishop's in particular - and still have my complete collection, all four issues of it.

"Most popular"

Dear LJ,

Can we ditch the popularity contest? George's post is "popular". Facebook tells me, when I type "Kathr", that "Kathryn Cramer is popular among my friends".

Yes, because this is a tragic event and people need to huddle together to share their pain and process the sheer fact of this enormous, sudden loss.

George, thank you, a moving post. Hope to see you next time I'm down your way, which is likely to be in late February.

That's a robo-message, I believe. Come up whenever I blog.
