Diane Michelangeli - An Unsung Hero

[dewline]

If there's ever a Maple Leaf flag planted on Mars, part of the work that will have made it happen will be that of Diane Michelangeli.

I must admit to not hearing or reading much of her work during her lifetime, and now that life has ended all too soon. According to the CBC reports, it was brain tumours that finally got her. At 45.

45.

As with Mike Wieringo in comic books in recent days, that too is too damned soon.

Ladies, gentlemen and respected others: we have been robbed.

Again.

Dr. Michelangeli, I'm sorry I never got to meet you. It would have been cool.

Indeed we have been robbed of a wonderful, darling human being. Diane taught me at York U and hired me on when I was an undergraduate student. She pushed me to excel and helped me see the potential in myself. She is greatly missed.
