Sad News

[donnad]

I am very sad to report that Marty Gear, Vampire Extraordinaire, Masquerade Emcee for many, many, Arisia Masquerades, Director of The Balticon Masquerade, passed away sometime last night. This is a huge loss for costume fandom.

Details are forthcoming regarding services etc.

RIP Marty.

Ack. I know he was quite old and had heart problems, but he seemed to be one of those people that would keep going forever. I've known him for about 30 years, and I'll miss him.

When I talked to him at Arisia, he mentioned he was having problems with his pacemaker.

That is sad news. We are poorer for his loss.

So sad. Do let us know details about services. I'd like to try to go.

Hey Donna I was thinking about you in all this snow and went to send you a message to check on you and discovered I was no longer a friend of yours. I know I don't post often but I do try to keep up with everyone. I hope I didn't didn't do anything to upset you.

[donnad]

no, you didn't, at the beginning of the year I just went through and removed a bunch of people I hadn't heard from in a long time, I'll add you back.

Hi

Not many people left here in LJ land. I was just looking around and thought I would say hello and I hope all of your cats are doing well. We recently lost one to a brain tumor and I worry about the rest getting up there in age. Hope things are going well your way.
