I just had a call from a friend that George MacDonald Fraser (author of the Flashman novels) has died. Smiley: frown

Waiting for announcements

Yahoo confirms it.

81, not young but as I get older myself, it does feel younger every time I hear of someone dying at this age.

Flashman was one of my favorite literary characters. I always pictured Michael Caine (of Zulu vintage) playing him in films.
