I'm terribly saddened by Marion McChesney's death. Marion's Trek
zine, VAULT OF TOMORROW, was one of my favorites. She was always most
kind to me all those years ago when I was a lot younger and a lot
more...fiesty. I'll always cherish my memories of Marion and her
fanzines.

the people who never encountered her, she was a very sweet person.

I'm sorry to hear of her passing as well. She was definitely instrumental
in the development of Star Trek fanzines, and produced some excellent
and memorable ones.

I, too, will miss Marion. My direct contacts with her were limited, but
she did publish one of my stories in Vault 13, and I had several
conversations with her at various Shore Leaves. Her contributions to
fandom were many and important, and she was a wonderful person besides.
She will be missed.

I didn't see the beginning of this thread. Marion McChesney died?
What of? I knew her back in the early/mid 80s, having worked with her
on the original printing of my zine novel ELEGY FOR AMANDA, which got a
Surak Award nomination, and later she was kind enough to give a new
editor/publisher of mine permission to reprint it with my artwork. She
was a pleasure to work with and was certainly always nice to me, and I
loved her zines well before I ever got involved with her as a
contributor--they were some of ST fandom's best. I can only imagine
that those who knew her will miss her terribly.

Yes, she has. The original post was forwarded to ORION PRESS's eGroup by
Kathy Agel. Marion's influence in all things Trek will be missed.

Thanks for the confirmation. This news was really surprising and
saddening. I wasn't a personal friend or anything, but I do feel like I
knew her for a while.

I never knew this site existed until today, thank you for the kind words about my Aunt Marion; reading through the comments on the page I can see that she touched so many peoples lives through her writings and conventions that she was involved in. She apparently did way more than I ever knew about, she is still missed in the family and always will be but with the words I have read from each person in this group I can see she will live on in the hearts of all of you.
Thank you,
Angel
