AAE Statement on the recent tragedy
David Cooksey
It is a day that none of us will ever forget. Our deepest sympathies and
condolences to all who have been struck by this.
We have lost members of our fandom, and many more have lost friends,
co-workers, or family, including folks on our staff. It is truly a tragedy
that affects us all. The outpouring of support for those affected has been
gratifying to see, and we are sure, will continue.
AAE encourages all of us to remember, to reflect, and to support each other
during the days and weeks ahead. Life will go on but it will never be quite
the same.

Wait a minute... back up a bit.
-Have- we lost members from the fandom? I might have missed it, but I
understood there were no fans lost in the tragedy. Have there been casualties
among us? Can someone verify or clarify?
