Because I know what day today is, I looked it up and sadly it's true. Happy trails Mr. Blume.

You think I'd claim somebody had died as an April Fool's joke? Man....

This is the internet sir; I apologize if offense was taken. I've seen much worse "gags" online.

To be fair, it would have been better if this was an April Fool's joke.

Maybe this is why a lot of older people seem fascinated with history. They end up realizing all the things (that they now find relevant) that was happening when they were blissfully unaware of as children.

For example, Blue left the company the second year I was really getting into TSR products.

Cute digression: When I was a city hall reporter, I had a woman call me up to complain about a local post office being declared a national landmark.

"That's not a historical landmark!" she said. "I remember when it was being built!"

The woman was like in her late 90s and the post office was 80 years old at the time.

Sorry to hear of his passing. I have been privileged to enjoy playing D&D and its offshoots for decades thanks to him and others in the early days.
