USA TODAY - 2/13/86
"Frank Herbert, 65, died Tuesday afternoon of a blood clot in his lung at
the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison, where he had
been undergoing treatment for pancreatic and liver cancer."
...
"Herbert is survived by three children, Brian, Bruce and Penny, and his
third wife, Theresa. He had been married to the former Beverly Ann Stuart
for 39 years, until her death [of cancer] in 1984." [insert] mine.
...
"In accordance with his wishes, Herbert will be cremated and the family
will hold private services. They suggest any donations be sent to the
Frank Herbert Cancer Research Fund at the Wisconsin Foundation of the
University of Wisconson Center, Madison., Wis. 53792
Herbert's last works are a screenplay based on his 'The Santaroga
Barrier' (1968) and a science fiction novel, 'Man of Two Worlds', with
eldest son, Brian, which will be published in May by Putnam."
Wouldn't it be nice if all of his fans, or at least all of the regular
readers of sf-lovers, sent ten dollars to the research fund? The article
said he has 15 million readers. Maybe $150 million would make a dent in
cancer research.
"sic transit gloria mundi"
