The idea of never again being able to be engrossed by one of Geron's flights of imagination is depressing. I will just have to be thankful for all the stories he did share and the fantastic journeys I was taken on. Which is not to forget the many that were grounded solidly on this planet. In both types love was clearly evident.

I can only hope that somehow he has ended up on Engris with Browbeat, surely the most enchanting of his non human creations, along witht the squirrels of Twombly, as company.

I think, if there is any sort of afterlife, his afterlife will be driving a big Mopar up and down route 8, always just ahead of Buford T Justice and Junior. He'll probably take a Route 66 road trip, too.

Oh, wouldn't that Route 66 trip with our friend, Geron be something?!?!?!

I am already missing my online discussions with him, and can only hope that he is at peace!

   Although it seems unlikely, I still hope we hear something positive soon.  I enjoyed every story I read by Geron, including the two which seem exclusive to this site -- "A Rainbow for Jack" and "An Admission of Guilt".
   We know that he had two middle names.  We know that in his business dealings he went by the middle names and not as Geron Kees.  We know he moved to the United States from The Netherlands when he was about nine or ten years old.  Also, he said that the Charm stories were a little bit of parallel to his growing up years in the US.  He said he might do an eighth "Charm" story.

   He also told me that he had some notes for another story in the series which started with "The Odd, Onward Door" and a few notes toward a sequel to "The Case of the Short, Short Prince."  He also planned a third "Road" story.
   His stories live on, here and on Gay Authors.

I have placed a link to Geron's story index page (here) at Gay Authors. My thoughts are to promulgate this as widely as is practical.
