I have just learned that my Grade 3 teacher, Mrs. Rokne has passed away. She was extremely beloved in my elementary and personally, she is basically entirely responsible for my love of fantasy books.

If we're ever to win a Hugo, I'd really love it to be this year. There are a couple of reasons: First, I think we did some of our best work in 2024. But the personal reason is that I'd like my mom (who was unexpectedly diagnosed with advanced cancer) to see us win a Hugo for best fanzine.
