and another goodbye

R.I.P. Damon Knight: http://boingboing.net/2002_04_01_archive.html#85007819

I never met Damon, in person that is. I read his fiction, and we were both on the GEnie SF Roundtable way back when.

He was 80. It's still a shock.

For some reason, this is hitting me hard, and I'm not sure why.

Oh my god.

(stunned)

I mostly knew him from the SFRT. And he and Kate were wonderful when they came out to Minneapolis for a Fourth Street I think it was.

I haven't read that much of his work really, but he was just so very very cool on GEnie that he made a huge impression on me.
