We are sad to hear that long-time MW*C attendee and staffer Sheryl Adsit passed away on January 8, 2022. She ran the Fannish Video room and Fannish Video competition for many years.

(From Lori) Sheryl was a beloved friend and part of the MediaWest*Con fannish community and staff for so many years and it was always great seeing her in person at least once a year, before Covid and advancing ages and deteriorating health and finances complicated matters. I still remember her appearance as a contestant on Jeopardy, too; a dream many of us have held!

Condolences to family and fellow friends.

We were sorry to hear that long-time MW*C attendee James Castleberry has died. Many may remember him from the FOE blaster battles.

My mom, Bev Singer, died peacefully, in her sleep tonight.   My brother, Allen J. Singer and I were with her, visiting.   We had just told her what a great mom she was, and noticed she had stopped breathing.   She died, surrounded by her loved ones, the way she wanted.
