News about scifi writer Andre Norton
The following messages appeared on the Yahoo Space-modelers discussion
board over the past few days: "From: "Karon Adams" karon@k... Date: Sat Mar 5, 2005 8:41 am Subject: Update on Ms. Andre "I just received a call from my mom. Ms. Andre Norton had a stroke a two days ago. She has lost her sight, most of her hearing and is now functioning mentally on a five year old level. We expect a second stroke any time now and that will, unfortunately take this lovely lady from us. Please keep her and her family and friends in your prayers. My mom was able to go and see her prior to the stroke. She went home when the docs told her she was probably not going to survive. She wanted to go home and die with her books and her cats. Unfortunately for us, we are soon to lose her. For now, I pray for her comfort and ease. Godspeed Ms. Andre, Godspeed. Karon" "From: "Karon Adams" karon@k... Date: Sat Mar 5, 2005 12:55 pm Subject: [space-modelers] Update on Ms. Andre Oh, My, I must correct a misunderstanding. My mom is perfectly fine, it is Ms. Andre Norton, long time Science Fiction Author, who is ill and near her end. She is 93 and has written many a wonderful trip through the stars. I mention it here because I know many people interested in space flight are also Science fiction fans and many science fiction fans grew up reading Ms. Andre's work. My mom is a friend of Ms. Andre, this is why I know of her condition. Karon" Rusty |
