Passings

Over Christmas break Young Epic read Chasing the Bear by Robert B. Parker and greatly enjoyed it. At that point I realized he had never read any of Parker's Spenser novels, so I ordered the first two in the series. I've been rereading them before I ship them off to YE, and I was deeply saddened to read of the recent death of Parker.

While the work will remain with us, and new generations will discover Spenser, Susan, Hawk, Pearl, and Parker's other characters, I will miss experiencing their further adventures.
