George Scithers, 1929-2010
Very sad to hear the news about the passing of George Scithers over at Bill Crider's blog. I never met Scithers, the longtime co-editor of Weird Tales magazine, but he was a huge influence on me. He was incredibly kind to a certain 17-year-old nerd hoping to intern at his magazine. And if it weren't for Scithers, all of my novels might have had the name "Duane Louis" on them.

I linked back to your original post about this and then checked out the letter from Mr. Scithers.
What a great letter.
Here's to Mr. Scithers (and those like him).
You said it, Charlie. That letter meant the world to my 17-year-old self.
