Sad News
Some sad news around conference time this year: At the Thursday Guest of Honor luncheon, Don Morse announced the passing of author Andre Norton at the age of 93. The author was a supporter of the conference, helping to establish the Crawford Award to recognize outstanding new fantasy writers; I found it especially poignant that the last session I attended at the conference included a paper on her work. Also, shortly after the conference, we learned that longtime IAFA member Bud Foote had died on March 12. Our condolences to their family and friends.
