This Week's Banner

Our title banner this week is dedicated to a friend of mine who passed away over the weekend.  He was one of us.  One of those fans who loved so many different things from Sci-Fi and Fantasy.  Pictured in the banner   is just some of what he loved in movies, TV and comic books.  Dave Kraus was only 49 years old, way too young to leave this world behind.  He did so much in his life and embraced his interests with vigor.

In his last few years, after years of collecting toys and DVDs he found his true love, Kathy.  He passed away in her arms, surrounded by family and all that was most important in his life.

I lost contact with Dave in recent years and regret not sharing our life experiences: his marriage, the birth of my daughter and our continued love of our hobbies.  If you have someone that you haven't seen in a while or perhaps someone you had a falling out with, is it really worth not sharing time with them?  Even your own family, give them a hug and show your emotions because you never know when you will lose that chance.

Tom, Gary, Dave, Chris and Mark at Chiller Convention so many years ago!!
