Many will remember Jean Wells working our registration desk last year. She passed away last Wednesday, January 25th. Our homepage has been updated to honor her memory.
I do remember. I only had a moment to say hello to her but she seemed like a very sweet person. I must say that I've yet to meet someone in the industry from "back in the day" who wasn't kind toward all the fans of this hobby.
Jean was a sweet lady and I am disappointed that I won't be able to introduce my wife and daughters to her at Gary Con IV. Unfortunately time marches on relentlessly and we all have a meeting with our maker at some point in the future. It is a reminder to seize opportunities and live life to the fullest! I am happy that Jean was able to help us at Gary Con II and III. She will be missed.
She was very friendly. I talked to her for about 20 minutes at GCIII. She talked about her days with TSR and how she was not treated very kindly by a few individuals. She signed a few of my books and invited me to visit her to talk more. Sadly, I never got the opportunity to do so. She will be missed.
