Further Tributes to E. Gary Gygax

Thanks for the link Gregg.

How Gary Gygax touched other lives

The following from the theatrical release of "The Fellowship of the Ring" strikes me as poignant:

"The world has changed. I see it in the water. I feel it in the Earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it."
- Galadriel

(Funny, at lunch with Andrew yesterday in which a Callahan's Red was raised to the memory of Gary he mentioned that some artist posted somewhere that he didn't feel much attachment to Gygax, that was his father's time... ah, how soon the young forget that we today stand on the shoulders of giants, where JRRT-EGG provide the foundation).

And sadly, with them both now gone, so does this quote...

"Our list of allies grows thin!"
Elrond (to Gandalf)
