It is with great
sadness that we report the
sudden passing of VIcky L. Medley of natural causes. Vicky
earned
her B.A. (Spanish, sociology double major) and her M.A. in English from
Eastern New Mexico University, where she studied under her mentor, Dr.
Jack Williamson, enrolling in his creative writing and science fiction
courses as a graduate student. Hers was the first master’s degree at
ENMU devoted solely to Williamson’s work. She was working
as a Retention Specialist and activity director for a Title V grant at
ENMU. She considered her friendship with Dr. Williamson and the hours
spent sitting at his kitchen table discussing everything under the sun,
including SF, some of the best times of her life.
Her
Master's thesis, "Queens of
Space: Women in the Work of Jack Williamson" was published earlier this
year in THE WORLDS OF JACK WILLIAMSON.
A
small essay on the Williamson Centennial appears in Earl Kemp's online
fanzine, eI37
