Gurns is gone.

Eilistraee is texting with Gurns' wife now. He died on Sunday, although in so many ways he'd died months ago.
There is no funeral or visitation or wake planned, although there may be a memorial service at some time. If you want, let me know and I will let you know if I learn of one.
Gurns was Warren Kubitschek, an education researcher and co-author of many papers. He also was a proud member of the Door County Folk Festival, participating extensively in the organization and in setting up the sound systems. A few years ago, he was a member of a folk band called Spatterdash, and it was very nice when he consented to bring his accordion up during one of his visits so we could hear him play. He was also Jergal, a truly valued member of the RP-Quest Sphere, a few years back. He wrote most of the region between the Refugee Camp and the far end of the tunnel into Ashstone, and helped hugely with the Finale, particularly with our descriptions. We all grew to fear his 'red pen.' :) Even more, he was a beloved friend to me and my family.
When you read the ansi book, with the old-style rhyme, please think of him fondly.
