: : For those of you who may not have heard:
: : I learned from the news at shifti.org that Michael W. Bard, who wrote "Diary Of a Centaur In a Human World", and has been a prominent figure on the TSA writers' list, suffered a stroke on Friday, March 12; and is at present in a coma in the hospital in Toronto. His chances of recovery are as yet unknown.
: : I had corresponded occasionally with Mr. Bard when he was running the TSAT webzine; and met him briefly at Anthrocon '08.
: : I hope everyone will join in with whatever prayers or good wishes they can provide.
: As of today, the results of Michael's brain scan show widespread permanent damage, with minimal hope of recovery. He has been taken off life support.
: For those who knew him, you may leave messages at his shifti page.
Michael passed away early this morning; funeral arrangements are being made.
Peace to his soul. 7;=e
