Charles N. Brown, R.I.P.

Sad news today. Charles N. Brown, founder, publisher, and editor of Locus Magazine, the newspaper of the science fiction field, passed away on Sunday. Since its inception in 1968 Locus has won 29 Hugo awards, which must be a record. I read Locus for many years. In time my interest in the subject faded somewhat, but my admiration for Mr. Brown and his magazine never dimmed.
