Farmer was a wonderful writer and, like many others, will be sorely missed by the SF community at large. Also, I would just like to comment on Mr. Pohl's blog, I love it! It is so very well written and a delight to read in the middle of yet another dry, boring work day. The “River” series was my first SF novel set.

What an amazing diversity of novels and stories! When I first heard the news, I thought "Riverworld." Then through the day, I remembered the odd and kinky stories, and the tributes and analysis of Tarzan, and "Riders of the Purple Wage." A life not wasted.

A life not wasted.
