New Blog Post: Day of the Dead Musings
Two fannish acquaintances of mine passed away recently. By Fannish, I mean people who are part of the science fiction fandom community.
I first met Fred Duarte at an Armadillocon back in the late 1980s. Later, when I moved to Austin, Texas in 1993, he and his wife Karen Meschke were two of the people who looked out for me a little. Fred, Willie Sirois and I went to a Houston Astros baseball game in Fred's land-barge, (the Mets won that day, if I remember correctly) and we had a fun time. Later still, after things went poorly at the job I'd moved there to accept, Fred helped celebrate my birthday with me by driving to the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame . They have an impressive collection of memorabilia there, no less for the fact that Texas has an impressive roster of players who made it to the Big Leagues including one of the favorite players of my youth, Cecil Cooper.
