I had stopped reading ...I was so sad to hear this. I had stopped reading his books at around number 4 simply because I had such a hard time keeping everyone straight and I planned that someday I would go read them all again once he had finished. While I'm sure the series will be finished, I am saddened by his short life and the fact that he won't be able to do this himself.Carl V.

In fact, I've written appreciations after death of some very good ones, including Ron Walotsky and Kelly Freas. Death is inevitable, but no one is really ready for it either from any corner when it happens. That's why it's important-and I tell people this especially young people- to have fun, and moments with these people that they live on through you. My condolences to the family as even though we're strangers, we're all partners in imagination in one way or the other.Bob Eggleton (Zillabob)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07049761592217486636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-73940624430906629732007-09-17T19:34:00.000-04:002007-09-17T19:34:00.000-04:00Irene,The world is at a loss.
