Oh no, I am so sad to hear this, his books are so wonderful. (NT) -- celtgirl, 15:56:19 07/17/09 Fri
I read that he was battling cancer and then the meningitis came on top of it and it was just too much. (NT) -- Carla, 16:36:43 07/17/09 Fri
- See, you know more than I do. They just had a little paragraph in the paper. What a shame. I really, thoroughly enjoy his writing. (NT) -- Elaine, 16:52:17 07/17/09 Fri
