Julius (Julie) Schwartz was an institution at Dragon*Con, and I remember how fondly everyone treated him at the annual award ceremonies. He was Ray Bradbury's first agent, editor of the Superman comic for 25 years, and had countless other achievements to his name. I am sorry to hear of his passing. :/ He will be missed.
