Adrienne Gormley, whom many of you may know for her long presense in local
fandom and SFWA matters, passed tonight a few minutes before 8 pm; Jason
Stewart from the Whensday people, Candy and I were visiting her in what turned
out to be her final hours. She had pneumonia and a very bad leg infection as
well as other ailmensts. But the doctor at the scene talked of kidney failure.
She was alert and responsive when we got there and just faded away over the
course of the afternoon. Jason is in touch with her family. May memories of
her endure.
--Best, Gerald

Reviews:
Rick reviewed further episodes of the Halo series on Paramount+ & finds it
continues to be good & very worth watching. Season finale will be in three
days.
& Rick reviewed season 3 thus far of 'Resident Alien' on the Syfy
Channel as he found himself enjoying the series, despite it being a sitcom. He
likes Alan Tudyk as an alien very out of place in a picturesque small Colorado
town. Worth your time.
& Rick reviewed 'Constellation', on Apple TV+, as almost done with its
first season. The suspense / psychological thriller / SF plot is pretty easy
to figure out, but still engrossing.
Ken reviewed 'Tim Travers & the Time Travelers Paradox', seen at Cinequest, as
amazing. It's a comedy about a scientist who invents a time machine and
decides to test the paradox of going back one minute and killing his younger
self. He enjoyed it & hopes it gets a distributor; see =

Yochanan reviewed the 3 episodes of 'The Time Traveling Bong', seen on Amazon
as he cannot really recommend it, but he watched it. For more info check =
https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Time-Traveling-Bong/0MW3FVPZLIUL7B766SXHZG201C
& he reviewed 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' as pretty good,
especially for a spin-off. He enjoyed it quite a lot & is glad that it looks
as though it has been picked up for renewal. Highly recommended.
Craig reviewed going to a symphony at Davies Symphony Hall as it was amazing &
highly recommended
