Condolences from Richard

Dear Mr. McCaffrey,

Although I never actually met your mother, I considered her a very dear friend for most of my life. Her books took me to places and times that made my life a little more enjoyable.

I got “Sky Dragons” yesterday morning and that was when I found out about your mother passing “between”. I offer my condolences to you and your family for the loss of a great lady. She will be missed!!!

Sincerly Richard Minton

Thanks, Richard!

It was very hard to write that Acknowledgement, knowing how many people would be discovering the news of Mum’s loss through it.

We all miss her. Fortunately, she’s left a bit of herself on the countless pages she wrote on Pern and all her other worlds. A great legacy.

Sincerely,

Todd
