Lighter than a feather...

Robert Jordan passed away this afternoon after an unsuccessful fight with amyloidosis. In addition to his writing career, he served two tours in Vietnam, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm.

I got to meet him once, and even gave him a token gift. Nice guy, sorry to see him pass on so early. Dragonmount is, predictably, slashdotted...

I just read about this today! How sad, really. I wonder if Harriet will finish the final book. :(
