Sorry. IF you¹re a subscriber to STARMANET [SN], please feel free to post your comments about Mike directly to the List. If you¹re receiving this message from one of my non-STARMANET Lists, please let me know whether I MAY/MAY NOT (with/without your name) FWD your message to [SN] and/or Mike¹s widow, Carol. Thanks. Sorry for the confusion. Still working on other messages for this List (including another today) . Stay tuned!

One of our most beloved and supportive StarStaffers, Mike Gray, left us---far too soon---on Tuesday, April 29, 2013. He was a producer, director, and writer on the series and attended numerous FAMILY-CONs. Unfortunately, he was unable to join us in 2010 or, most recently, last October for SFC 2012. His books (which he donated for sale benefiting SFC) have been featured every year at STARMAN BookNights. Mike was a thoughtful and generous man, very appreciative of all our SSI efforts. He will be sorely missed by those who knew him and value all his work to make ours a better planet. I received messages from both George Wells and from Liz Turner, who sent me the link that Michele Azuddin posted on Facebook (unfortunately, I don¹t do Facebook). Thank you, Geo & Liz for notifying me, and thanks, Michele, for posting this excellent link (which does mention STARMAN): http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/04/arts/mike-gray-china-syndrome-writer-dies- at-77.html?_r=1& <http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/04/arts/mike-gray-china-syndrome-writer-dies -at-77.html?_r=1&> I encourage y¹all to post your own memories and appreciations of Mike to the List (or send to me if you¹re not on STARMANET). I¹ve been working on a long-overdue post to this list about other matters and hope to complete that soon. Stay tuned. Blue Lights Always.

New Robert Hays Ad

Hi all, There's a great new commercial out starring Robert Hays in an escapade that makes his neck-brace story sound tame. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/18/wisconsin-travel-and-airplane-ad_n… Fun fact: the spot was directed by the directors of "Airplane!" Blue Lights, Bruce

AMONG THE STARS: Annemarie Reuter Schomaker
by Vicki Hessel Werkley 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Sad news. i just talked to Annemarie about two weeks ago. We¹ve missed having her at SFC since 2006; now we¹ll miss her wonderful greetings. I¹m sure we¹ll have more info later. Vicki Werkley ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tim Schomaker <timschomaker(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 11:36 AM Subject: News about Annemarie Reuter Schomaker Dear family and friends of Annemarie, Some of you may have already heard, but my grandmother Annemarie has passed away this morning (1/18/13). She had a brief battle with pneumonia and passed away peacefully at the hospital with Pete, Irene, and my sister Tina by her side. As you all know, she was a very special person and will live on in my heart and memories for the rest of my days. She was very close to me and helped to form my character with a sense of adventure, a positive outlook, curiosity, openness, and a thirst for knowledge. She has a wide web of family and good friends around the world, and I have included everyone on this E-mail who seem pertinent, compiling addresses from E-mails that she distributed to her family and friends with New Years wishes, among other E-mails. Please forward this along as you see fit. She would not have wanted for us to make a big fuss about her passing, we believe. Information about gathering in the spring to celebrate her life will be forthcoming. The picture I have included was taken during a visit we had on 12/23/12 with my wife, kids, and her. She was in fair health and strong mind, and we had an excellent visit. Apologies for the size of the two smaller pics - one is of her at her book signing with my sister. Wishing you peace and happiness.

Fan Fiction posted

I have added a story to the pre-television Starman section of Archive Of Our Own. It's there because - well because it predates Starman(TV) by about 15 years. This was written before there was a Starman television program. This is not something I wrote. It is a story I found on a photo copy I was given years ago. I had no way to contact the author for permission. If the author is located and objects to its posting, I *WILL* take it down. I thought that now, with us entering the Christmas season, it was an appropriate time to post this. http://archiveofourown.org/works/573930
