I have only met Forry once or twice. But he was every bit as gracious and amusing as the stories and obituaries describe him to be.
If you ever, EVER went to a sci-fi con… or wrote fanfic… or collected a poster… or built a model… or read a fanzine, or a prozine… you owe him.
In fact, if you’e ever done anything like that in mystery fandom, or romance fandom, you STILL owe him. Your fandoms took inspiration from the activities of sci-fi fandom… and they are, in no small measure, inspired by Forry.
Rest well, oh “Ackermonster”.
