MY DEAR FRIEND IS GONE
At 9 AM exactly, this morning, the 27th of August, my phone
rang; and it was Tom, the younger brother of my friend of
more than 50 years, the most excellent sf and mystery
writer,
JOE L. HENSLEY
a staunch, talented friend I could not have loved more were
he my brother. Joe died in the night. Last night.
Please spread the word. I am in fear that such mass amnesia
as exists in the country, in the genre, in the massmind, that
few will know his name. He needs to be remembered. Yet when I
called LOCUS to report his passing, the (very polite) young
woman who answered, who took the news, may not have
recognized it, nor be aware of Joe's significant credits. I'm
not sure; but I cannot leave this to chance. So, please, if
you can: let everyone know that big, charming, wonderful Joe
Hensley is no longer coming out to play with us.
Very sad, Harlan
