Since many of us are fans of science fiction and fantasy, I thought that this would be of considerable interest to many of us here. Poul Anderson, long-time science fiction and fantasy writer, is in hospice care, and is expected to die very soon.

This from the bottom of Jerry Pournelle's daily column at http://www.jerrypournelle.com/view/currentview.html#Tuesday

Friends --

It's with a heavy heart that I write that my father, Poul Anderson is receiving hospice care at home and is not expected to live more than a week.
I know that some of you are fans of his work, and if you would care to send an e-mail direct to my parents house ( trigonier@earthlink.net ) expressing what it has meant to you, he would be very appreciative. I'll be going down there myself tomorrow (they're in the Bay Area), so will not be getting mail here for a few days.

Geez, that'll be the passing of an era... it's bad enough we've lost Roger Zelazny.

When Bradbury goes, that'll be it.
