NINE YEARS ON
It is hard for me to grasp still but that it has been nine years since writer, playwright, editor, publisher, actor, and friend RICHARD VALLEY passed away.

RICHARD VALLEY, SCARLET STREET EDITOR, has passed away at age 58.
He leaves behind a beloved mother, and his love of over a quarter century,
Tommy Amorosi.
Since then, many other fanzines have ceased publications, many other friends in the genre have gone on to join him in the great beyond, and many of the issues that were important to him have become political fodder once again.
To me, though, it is a personal loss of a man who was a great true and loyal friend who could irritate the hell out of me and then move one with his extreme generosity and kindness.
I have been lucky to have had four truly great friends in my existence, and though now two have departed, I still cherish them all.
I hope that each and every one of you is fortunate enough to know or have known such a shining presence in your life.
