There's been a fair bit of discussion about sending flowers or something in
honor of a WSFA founder, and I agree that it would be nice to make a
gesture.  However, I think that we should do something in honor of a more
recent WSFAn, a founder of BSFS, and someone whom many of us knew and cared
for, as well as knowing and caring for his family.  Besides being a writer
Jack was a long-time fan and he and Eva have both been active in working on
local conventions.

I would like to suggest that making a significant contribution to the SFWA
Emergency Medical Fund would be an appropriate gesture for WSFA.
