surakofb5 posted here that Robert Asprin has died. He was due to be a Guest of Honor at Marcon, and this is the second of this years' GoHs to pass away before the convention. I always thought his Myth Adventures series was alright, and I sort of enjoyed Thieves' World, to which he was a major contributor. He was never the sort of author I got worked up about, but his stuff was nice enough. I met his son through therck's PlotLuck (LARP) games a while back.

I wish I knew how to reach Dan now. We've lost touch over the years, but I knew him moderately well when he was a teenager.

He was in town as of a few months ago -- I ran into him -- so you might try directory assistance.

Or I might try his mother. I know where to find her and probably have her phone number around here somewhere.

Thanks.

If you can't find her, I probably can. I don't have her number to hand, but she and her husband are on our Xmas party invite email list.

Yeah, you probably saw this on filkertom's post, but I thought you would certainly want to know.
