Andrew Brown & George "Lan" Laskowski Die

Australian fan Andrew Brown and Hugo-winning American fan George "Lan" Laskowski have died

We heard recently that Andrew Brown died on Thursday 15 July. The cause of death is currently unknown. Andrew was a former editor of the Melbourne newsletter Thyme which has been nominated for a Hugo this year, among his other fannish activities.

And we've just heard that George "Lan" Laskowski, editor of the Hugh-winning fanzine Lan's Lantern died of cancer on Monday 19 July. The funeral is on Friday.

Both were comparatively young, and will be greatly missed.
