RIP Rusty Hevelin

and then the laughing
Originally uploaded by netmouse.

I didn't know Rusty Hevelin all that well, but you didn't have to know him well to see the joy he took in the people around him, and vice-versa. He was a positive presence in Cincinatti-area fandom during my brief sojourn in southern Ohio, despite his declining health. A delightful soul who will be missed even by people who did not know him well and missed dearly by those who did.
