When I first went to a meeting of Southwest Writer's Workshop one of the first people I met was George Terrell. If you're a member and have books you can place them on the sellers table and he was the one who came up with the idea of letting us sell books. He was always right by the table. He had numerous books placed there. He wrote science fiction, historical fiction, plays, screen plays. An overall great guy. I bought one of his books, I'll Never Leave You, about women pilots that ferried planes from the U.S. to England during WWII. He knew a number of these women and was extremely proud of this story. I gave the book to Mom and Dad. It was one of the last books Dad read and they loved it.
Today his spot at the table was empty. He passed away Jan 20.
Maybe not a loss to the literary world as John Updike, but quite a loss to all the writers around here.
