Baron Dave E Romm — yes, Baron, of the micronation of Ladonia (he would be fond of saying “a real Baron of a fake country”) died unexpectedly of a heart attack on or around September 4th.
He hasn’t been an active Kossack for about a year, but for those of you who may remember him, I thought I would relay the news of his passing.
He was a mainstay of Minnesota science fiction and fantasy fandom for almost as long as I’ve been alive, and long before I entered fandom. He was host and director of Shockwave Radio on KFAI in Minneapolis. He was a fixture of the community.
I’ve known him off and on for most of my life. He was a truly gentle and kind man, friend to all who knew him.
I really don’t have a lot more to add right now, except to say he’ll be missed.
