Hi
I’m afraid that Jerry passed away
We had a great time at DragonCon
He did not suffer. Please feel free to post this news.
Pournelle wasn't only one of SF greats, he's also one of the people who sold SDI to Reagan

#2  I thought at first this was fake news as none of the MSM reported on this. But I did a DDG and a google search and sure enough he did die (in his sleep.)

I would have thought this would be major news as to me he's a bigger person than any of those crappy so called movie stars (except maybe a couple) the MSM is always weeping and howling over. He did have a major impact on my thinking.

RIP
