Andre Norton Has Passed

[Sci-Fi]

One of the oldest living authors of science fiction and fantasy, Andre Norton helped break down barriers and helped establish and build careers for women in the SF fields has passed away today.


Andre requested that, in lieu of flowers, please send donations to Saint Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis Tennessee or Veteranarian Services, c/o The Noah Fund, P.O. Box 10128, Murfreesboro Tn. 37129, in her memory. Because of her love of animals, Andre herself contributed to the Noah Fund which is for people who can not afford medical treatment for their pets.

Another sad loss ,

That's sad. I'm reading Legend of Earthsea right now, one of her best.

[gmd3d]

I read Earthsea only a few weeks ago after a thread on a film version can't remember the details through.

[Rigel_No_6]

Crap! I'm thinking of the wrong book. Andre Norton did the WitchWorld series which are great. Ursula K. Leguin wrote Legend of Earthsea....sigh...that's what I get for reading it on my palm pilot :D

[gmd3d]

I must have been reading the same palm :D . :rolleyes:
