RIP Andre Norton, the estranged - but always friendly - auntie of sci-fi.
Norton passed away March 17 of a congestive heart failure at the age of 93. She was a prolific sci-fi writer of more than 200 books and short stories.
I've never read any of her work, but it's going on the list. Meanwhile, (not to yuk it up too much now, it's a sad time after all) , I feel sorry for the page at the Merril Collection (my old stomping grounds) who must now undergo the task of entering the death date manually onto the file cards.
Don't forget: 2005. PERIOD.
