On the afternoon of Monday, January 23, 2023, my good friend and "sister from another mister," Lori Brom succumbed to a heart attack at Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans. Lori was a delightful person to know, funny, witty, and smart. After her father Larry Brom died in 2015, she and her sister Christy carried on Sergeants3 and the publishing of Larry's many rules, especially "The Sword and the Flame."

Lori was the sparkplug behind the unfortunately short-lived Colonial Barracks conventions in New Orleans in the early and mid 2010s. There gathered the most enthusiastic devotees of Larry's rules to play games and visit with friends, both old and new. Economics and Covid put an end to that convention, much to our loss.
She and Christy welcomed my wife and me into their home many times. Those visits were always full of laughter and stories. We didn't get to see them in person these past several years but did correspond via telephone, e-mail, and letter.
A loss too soon of a wonderful lady. May you rest in peace in the loving arms of your parents on the green shores of the never-dying lands in the west.
"And all will turn to silver glass; a light on the water; grey ships pass into the west."
