Roberta Carlson, "Bert", as she was known to many, a personal friend and a much loved Pacific Northwest con-runner, died on her way from Seattle, Washington to Westercon in Las Vegas. An investigation by the Highway Patrol determined that the accident was "no fault".

Accompanying Bert in the car were 4 other Pacific Northwest fans. All 4 are suffering from the traumatic experience. One of the fans is still in the hospital with serious damage to both of his hands. Arrangements are being made and a location set up to collect funds to help these fans return to Seattle. More information is available on the following Web page: http://community.livejournal.com/seattle_2011/ William Boyde, one of the four, will pay for the group's air flights home and the fund will be used to reimburse these travel costs. Any funds beyond the travel costs will be donated to Roberta's family.

You can send any donations to William via paypal to wboyde@eskimo.com

Thank you again for all your warmth, concern and sentiments.

Bobbie
