Following upon the previous post, Kage Baker has passed away.
A few years back she was guest of honor at ConQuest, in Kansas City. Here in St. Louis some folks at the public library contacted me to see if I could get her to come here to do a presentation. In my office at the time as president of the Missouri Center for the Book I made inquiries, set up a venue, and actually made arrangements. A couple of local fans who were at the Kansas City convention volunteered to drive Kage and her sister to St. Louis. They said they had a marvelous time with her and were pleased to take Kage around the city on tour.…
