RIP Ostrich

[whitetail]

Very saddened today to learn of the passing of Marshall Anthony Woods-known to old-school plushies and furries as "Ostrich" and "Rain Gryphon"-on 19 September 2024. xolo was one of the first people I met in the fandom 30 years ago, and we'd been friends ever since

Thank you for the news, sad as it is; I thought he had left for Telegram when he stopped posting back in June. I missed reading his racing and country fair posts, and about the birds in his yard.

I don't think I ever met hom in furson. I mainly knew about him from the (in)famous "Vanity Fair" article

Thank you, Sabot; this I never knew. But so much eludes me.

I reread the article tonight.

Oh no! :(

I started getting into Formula 1 last year and he talked about it a bit on DW (plus he was also a fan of Blackburn Rovers). He'll be missed. :(
