Missed telling you this, in the confusion of Jane coming back sick. <\/p>\n
John Dalmas is an old neighbor of ours from Spokane. He’s been a logger (has fantastic stories to tell you about exploding trees) and a writer, has struggled with hearing loss, and the craziness of the market—and has just kept writing. He’s had to move from Spokane eastward, where family can help him out, as he’s gotten old as the hills—and darned near as tough. He had been supposed to be at San Diego, but health hadn’t let him make it.<\/p>\n
So…John turns up at Miscon, one of his old favorite cons. And you’d know, being an sf writer, he’s not been shy about using one of the new-fangled oxygen concentrator units, which he refers to as R2O2, a little wheeled tag-along—they replace an oxygen bottle. Makes a little noise, but no disturbance to a gathering at all. And he was ignoring the elevator, climbing stairs and getting to panels, arranging to have his good ear on the proper side to hear remarks; and participating. One of the convention folk drove clear to heck and gone to pick John up in his new home and drive him to the con and back.<\/p>\n
He’s one of the nicest, toughest, kindest guys you’d ever hope to meet, proud of his Nordic heritage, and interested in everything on the planet and off—lately investigating e-publishing for his work. You go, John!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
