Very sorry to learn of Ian Watson's death. He was amiable and entertaining whenever we met at conventions, and a fine writer and speaker. The UK SF&Fantasy community will feel his absence.

He was highly valued by his close friends, many of whom are people whose judgement I value, if that makes sense. My sincerest condolences to all those mourning this loss.
