James E. Gunn died two days ago at the age of 97. To say he was a giant in the field doesn't begin to cover it. I took his writing workshop back in the early 90s and to this day I remember the entire experience with awe.

My personal proudest moment was when, after not having seen him for a decade or so, I walked into a room that he was in, he looked up, saw me, came right over and gave me a hug! Wow.

Here are links to a couple of obits:

I am so glad I got to know him.
