Cele Goldsmith dies
According to Locus, Cele Goldsmith Lalli died a week ago in a traffic accident. :( Locus says: "As Cele Goldsmith she was editor of Amazing Stories and Fantastic from 1958 to 1965." She was one of the first female editors of a major sf magazine—possibly even the first, I'm not sure—and by all accounts those magazines thrived under her editorship. (She published Le Guin's first sf story, I think, among others.) But she's not well-known; I'd barely heard of her before a WorldCon panel this past September. I've had it in the back of my head since then that it'd be cool to do an interview with her for SH; she clearly deserved more recognition than she's gotten lately.
