A Pioneer Passes
Saturday, June 28th, 2008I just learned by email that Jack Speer died overnight.
Jack was a member of First Fandom - the pioneers! - a mainstay of the Albuquerque Science Fiction Society, and a friend. He and his wife Ruth, who survives him, played gracious hosts to many a pleasant pre-Bubonicon party.
Sad news. Fandom in general and our Albuquerque fannish family are diminished. Jack is missed.
My condolences to Ruth and the children.
(I note that his death is already mentioned in his Wikipedia entry, linked to above.)
