I am saddened to report of passing of Mr. Forrest Ackerman, AKA F4J, AKA Uncle Forry. He was the man whom millions of us monster kids turned to for providing us with humorus and insightful information in his Famous Monsters of Filmland, which he edited for many years. Forry's health hasn't been the best these past few years and many of his fans were preparing for the worst. An avid collector, a brilliant literary agent, Forry defined fandom in both SF literature and monster movies for generations. He will be missed.
