Losing Ed as well as one of our friends we had gained through sharing more hours than we would want to count at the hospital getting cancer treatment at the same time. Like Ed, Vickie is gone and will never be forgotten.<br /><br /><br />KevinKevin R.

He did, of course, as he lives in our memories and in the marvelous canon of novels and stories he left with us.

He even sent me a couple of personal emails in the first few years of my blog to complement me on what I was doing to revive an interest in the "oldies, but goodies." A real loss to the community. Wish there were more people like him out there.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-89570018271684790412016-10-16T12:32:06.823-04:002016-10-16T12:32:06.823-04:00Patti, I'm deeply sorry to hear about Mr. Gorm...Patti, I'm deeply sorry to hear about Mr. Gorman. He was a terrific writer and a supportive blogger. I didn't know him in person either but he'd promptly respond to my feedback. I'm glad I have plenty of his books to read.Prashant C.
