"Another Passing Of Note"

As there were Famous Monster reunions in the afterlife recently, there must have been an epic Star Trek reunion as well. Majel Barrett-Roddenberry passed this month. Baby-boomers are losing all their mentors and touchstones, as the world loses people who have inspired others so positively with their lives and vocations.

"R.I.P. Mr. Ackerman"

"I felt that the primary authors of science fiction were opening my eyes ... to a better and more fascinating world," says Forrest J Ackerman of the genre he has championed.

Thank you Forry for all of the fun that you gave to us in our lives.
