Hartwell

[madrobins]

I always feel weird about noting the death of someone I knew but was not close to--as if I were standing in the back of a crowd--in this case, a huge crowd--jumping up and down crying "Me too! Me too!" It's not about me, and I wasn't a close friend of David Hartwell's, and yet I find I'm more upset by his sudden, awful death than our relationship

Yeah, I feel the same way, and I knew him just the tiniest bit from brief encounters at Tor or at cons, and one shared meal. It always astonished me that he remembered my name.

Yes. This. All of this.

I was his friend and colleague for 30 years but yes, all these statements are true.

There is a large hole in our universe...
