RIP Carrie Nodell

Just heard the news that Carrie Nodell passed away. Mrs. Nodell was probably my favorite pro's wife to talk to at comic conventions (she was also a very talented colorist in her own right), and the one with whom I identified the most. I never saw her when she wasn't smiling or having a good time. We'd chat about Brooklyn, about her husband Martin (creator of the Golden Age Green Lantern), children and grandchildren, about other acquaintances in common. There's a very lovely picture of her here. To say that I'll miss Mrs. N every time I walk into a convention hall is an understatement. My deepest condolences to the Nodell family.
