I met Mr Sheffield at some writers function several
years ago and was very impressed; he was extremely
nice to me (as I was a young journalist and somewhat
nervous, meeting some of my writing heroes in person)
and very helpful. Hearing of his passing some years
ago was very sad. I found his business card a few
months ago-- it occupies a spot of honor in my home.
