If, like myself, you found Poul Anderson's science fiction work an important inspiration, this will be something I got from Jerry Pournelle's web site that you will want to know:

Friends --



It's with a heavy heart that I write that my father, Poul Anderson is receiving hospice care at home and is not expected to live more than a week. I know that some of you are fans of his work, and if you would care to send an e-mail direct to my parents house (trigonier@earthlink.net) expressing what it has meant to you, he would be very appreciative. I'll be going down there myself tomorrow (they're in the Bay Area), so will not be getting mail here for a few days.
