Roberta "Bert" Carlson, a member of the Norwescon concom and last year’s head of hospitality, was killed on Tuesday, July 2nd in a 1-car roll-over accident while on her way to Westercon in Las Vegas Nevada. There were four other people in the car with her, Bill Boyde, Jon Foster, Heather Newman and Nick Navota. Nick was seriously hurt, but the others were only shaken and bruised. Nick was airlifted to a Las Vegas hospital where they performed surgery on his hands. He lost three fingers and is in treatment to make sure the reattached thumb and finger are going to "take."

Roberta's funeral will be held this coming Friday at 11:00 am at St. John Vianney Church. It will be followed by burial at Holyrood Cemetery. There will be a luncheon at the church after the proceedings at St. John Vianney Church, 12600 84th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98034. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Childrens Hospital or Eastside Domestic Violence.

We are deeply saddened by Bert's death, and are hoping for a good recovery by Nick. The executive team is sending a remembrance to to Roberta's family on behalf of the convention. We will post more details as they become available. There is also a thread on the Norwescon LiveJournal page if you are interested.
