On Saturday, freind and family gathered at Once Upon A Crime to remember Gary Schulze, former owner of OUAC and all-around class act. I would love to write several hundred words about what a great guy he was, but I truly doubt I could possibly do him credit.

So instead, I want to share some pictures from the event

Gary was a wonderful man whose passion for crime fiction was matched only by his knowledge, he will be missed.
