The Message: A loyal Browncoat Crewchief Gerry James has died. :(
At Galacticon, just as Christine got word that the Ambulance's volunteer driver's truck wouldn't start, Gerry arrived from Coos Bay, weary from being stuck in traffic, costumes and displays in her truck. She was ready to drive right back down to The Dalles and pick up the Ambulance herself, drive through the night to get it to Seattle in time for Jewel Staite's photo op and the convention. (Fortunately, our driver was able to borrow a friend's truck and all went according to plan.) Joyful, dedicated, wonderful lady... I wish I'd known her better!
Thanks,
Adam

Anon, ChristineSent from my iPhoneWait, what? Crewchief? When did this happen?!?!?!The link doesn't work - Oh I am so sorry. She was an awesome lady. Last time I saw her was when she came to the Albuquerque Browncoat Ball. What a terrible pain to our community.Heather GarnerOn Sun, Aug 23, 2015 at 9:03 PM, Shawn Crosby obishawn@...
