Terrance Dicks, a prolific writer of classic Who scripts and Target novelizations of Doctor Who stories, has passed away.
I met Terrance on the Sci-Fi Sea Cruise in 2003, and took him out to the Pirate Dinner Theatre when he visited Orlando for an event in 2008. He was funny and entertaining and a writer to the end. (He has a story in a new Doctor Who anthology coming out in October.) He will be missed.
Two from the 2008 event:

With Guardians of Gallifrey member Patrick.

With Guardian Edward and myself (giving him my fan art of the Robot).
On the 2003 Sci-Fi Sea Cruise:

Farewell, Terrance.
