...Unlike some fandroids, Ackerman actually got married. His wife Wendayne, four years older than Forry, translated SF novels by the German authors Karl Herbert Scheer, Kurt Mahr and Walter Ernsting. She died in 1990 and is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, Calif., under the marker "Wife of Mr. Science Fiction."

...effort of the season. Harvard used a 46-shot barrage to tackle the Union defense while limiting the Dutchwomen (0-11-1, 0-4-0 ECAC) to only 12 shots on goal. Harvard had a single tally in the first period, three goals in the second, and a lone marker in the third to go along with solid goaltending from senior Brittany Martin and sophomore Kylie Stephens. Senior Sarah Wilson led the Crimson with two goals and tri-captain Jenny Brine added a goal and an assist to help the squad bounce back from a disappointing tie the night before...
