I saw it about three minutes before you posted. Damn. The crazy old man of science fiction is gone.

I hope he bequeathed his stuff to the scifi museum in Seattle. It didn't look like he had kids and I sure as hell don't want fandom to start getting vulturey about it.

I wish he had been at the con, I never got to meet him. Did you?

He's apparently been trying to get someone to buy the whole collection, but no one was willing. I'm betting that the museum will get some, and the rest will be auctioned - which at least means that some of it will find good homes.

That's just sad. It was sorta his life's work, you know?

Well... crap! He was one of the 'Great Men of SF'.

He really was.

They posted it on the Callahan group too...

Damn. I was hoping last month was a very false alarm...

Every time I walk into Building 4SJ, you'll be missed.

*hugs* Looks like everyone is having a bad day. :(
