SHIT!!!!!!!!

I knew him from the mid-sixties, when he was occasionally the parliamentarian
for PSFS. I thought of him as a friend, and I think that was mutual. I'll miss
him, a *lot*.

I remember a number of years, back in the seventies, wandering or calling him
(we both lived in University City in Philly), and asking to borrow his garden
hose, and his std. response, "moving again?" (I had a waterbed), then coming to
the door, and he'd answer, "woof, woof" (we both loved Pogo, and he associated
with Beauregard, the dog, while I did (several costumes, including one that won
an award at the Louisville NASFiC in '79, as Churchy la Femme.

*shit*

He was a good guy, and I think the best editor of Asimov's.
