Damn. :(

I am going to miss him. I hope that Baen's company can keep on the track he started, without his sure hand on the throttle.

No, I'm not going to say, "Oh, so sad!"

Instead, let me say, "Thank you, Mr. Baen. You did a wonderful job and brought thought, imagination, wonder, and excitement to many lives."
