RIP. Eyza (Anne Gilbert
RIP. Eyza (Anne Gilbert
By accident today, while on FB, I noticed many tributes being paid to one of our own - EYZA (Anne Gilbert), who passed away just after Christmas. She had been ill with cancer for some time.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Thanks Ken, I recall her from the old board and I've spotted her here and there on the net but wasn't aware she was ill.
At home with a good book and the cat...

[quote=""MLE""]Sad to hear! I remember her from the old forum, though I can't remember her name there. Eyza was the name of her neanderthal protagonist, she was writing something set in the middle ages with a time-slip element. Older generation (like me--a boomer), lived in Seattle.[/quote]
Anne was apparently very well respected in anthropological (and other) circles and was a renowned friend of Seattle library. Her passing has evoked literally hundreds of messages of condolence posted on FB. Here is one particular one. Check out the comments:

Sorry to hear of her passing, I did not know her but she obviously meant a lot to many contributors on here.

I dont remember her, but I think I would if I saw her avatar.
Still sad for those who knew her.
