I've just learned that Paul Spencer has passed away. Here is his obituary: http://www.sentinelsource.com/news/obituaries/paul-h-spencer/article_b855e534-0f... .

Paul was held in high regard in fantasy and sf circles. Along with his Cabell work he was especially known for his work on the writing of David H. Keller.

The Silver Stallion website just recently published an interview with Paul http://www.silverstallion.karkeeweb.com/kalki_archives/spencer.html , along with reprints of several of his Kalki articles http://www.silverstallion.karkeeweb.com/kalki_archives.html .

Here is his LT author page: http://www.librarything.com/author/spencerpaul-4

Sigh...

And another sad Cabellian event to report, the passing of former Kalki editor William L. Godshalk. Here's one obituary http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/cincinnati/obituary.aspx?pid=174426199 there may be others somewhere.

Bill was the Kalki editor from the early 70s, at first in conjunction with James Blish, and then as his successor; and was then succeeded by the late Paul Spencer in the mid 70s. He was also a Shakespeare scholar and bibliographer, and a student of Lawrence Durrell, Christopher Marlowe, Sir Philip Sidney, and others...

Ave atque vale!

Yes, I enjoyed Godshalk's collected essays on Cabell, which I came across in this very forum.
