Vaquero grew up with Jack Williamson. His dad was chair of the biology dept at ENMU, where Jack taught creative writing. That is where I first met Jack -- my fil introduced us in his reptile lab.

Jack was always kind to the hyperactive kid, Vaquero says. Jack always remembered him too. We inhabited the same Southwestern e-mail list. Jack always commented on Vaquero updates and expressed his pleasure that Vaquero was following his path.

He was one of those rare persons about whom not a single soul could or would say a single negative remark. He was so loved by the Southwestern SF/F community. The loss of his wife was so hard for him. They did their best to step in.

Love, C.
