Devastating News re CM Sperberg-McQueen

There is no good way to start this message. There is no good way to share this
news. So I'm just going to say it.

Michael Sperberg-McQueen died last week.

He leaves an enormous hole in many lives, many projects, many working groups,
and many conferences.

Balisage is hosting an online wake at:
https://www.balisage.net/RememberingMSM.html. We invite anyone and everyone to
share memories of Michael by sending text, images, or XHTML by email to:
info@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxx>   with "Remembering CM
Sperberg-McQueen" in the subject line. Or, if you prefer, send email to
btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   or dalapeyre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We will post the messages at: https://www.balisage.net/RememberingMSM.html
(after a quick check to ensure that they are on topic.)

We have lost a friend, a colleague, a force of nature.

-- Tommie
