Forrest J Ackerman dead at 92. The ultimate fan is gone.
I have one lasting memory of Forry. I happened to have the Hotel room next to him at a con and we kept bumping into each other in the corridor and the lift. He greeted me, essentially a complete stranger, every time like a dear friend and we talked about the con and other stuff. He had met so many people over the years that he assumed that everybody was his friend. Not a bad way to approach fandom.
