I had read in an article about him posted on the Web earlier this year that he was in poor health, though still active teaching. His writings and the few conversations I've had with him (the first one on a radio talkshow in Tulsa I called into, back in 1989, when he appeared to promote his book _Are You a Transhuman?_) have meant a great deal to me.
