Some of John’s soccer players got together to finance a set of shelters for the teams and score-keepers at soccer games. These were formally dedicated Sunday down at Carleton, at half-time during the varsity game. I spoke briefly at the dedication, and also took pictures of the varsity game and the alumni game afterwards.
I’m sorry to say that my mother, Mary Dyer-Bennet, died Friday morning 8/31 at about 7am in her room at Three Links Care Center (while I was in Chicago). The apparent cause was pneumonia. I’d visited Monday and the previous Friday, and while she wasn’t able to converse it was pretty clear she knew we were there. Barbara was almost there, but Mary waited until Barbara slipped out for breakfast.
We’ll be hosting a memorial in Northfield, far enough in the future to let people make plans. If you’re interested in coming please let us know so we can include you in the announcements and date picking.

Okay, this is about it for Worldcon photos. There’ll be a little final followup yet this week that may go in Monday.
Mostly, Sunday was the Hugo Awards.
Jo Walton won a well-deserved Hugo last night for her novel Among Others. Here she’s on stage during the photo session with other winners after the ceremony.
