Peter Bergman, one of four members of the counterculture comedy group Firesign Theatre, passed away Friday, 9 March, at age 72, from complications from leukemia.

The group's hard-to-describe but definitely surreal comedy albums, radio shows, and films often made use of science fiction tropes. Their album Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1971 and I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus was nominated in 1972.

Bergman also made albums with fellow Firesign member Phil Proctor, and more recently revived his Sixties radio show Radio Free Oz as a podcast with David Ossman.

My early memories of Dick Spelman has him standing behind a dealer's table at pretty much any Midwestern convention of any size that I can think of. Or so it seems; Dick is woven so tightly into the fabric of fannish memory that I don't have any specific stories to tell. I still hear his voice, though it's now been stilled.

RIP, Dick. I'll buy a book in your memory at upcoming conventions. Well, at least one....

She was so very gracious when she and her son Todd were having lunch at the Marriott after the 2006 Worldcon at the same time I was. That was the only time we spoke directly, much as I enjoyed seeing her enjoying the filk at ConAdian in 1994, and here and there a few other times over the years.

In addition to her considerable work, I deeply appreciate Anne's role in connecting Janis Ian with fandom.
