I am going to start this with one of my best Mira stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a convention in Massachusetts that was in a town close to the border with Connecticut that had a cabaret in which the guests performed for the attendees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this same cabaret, Peter and Richard Hatch did a dramatic reading of Peter\u2019s work entitled the Cad in the Hat which we performed as a puppet show at DragonCon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sylvester McCoy was there as well. He was performing with his spoons which he is amazing at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While he was doing this, Mira came over and was talking to Peter. She had a question about publishing that she knew Peter would have the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they were talking, Sylvester had moved his act to the floor playing his spoons off of people\u2019s heads and tables and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mira was bent over talking to Peter when Sylvester snuck over and bounced his spoons on Mira\u2019s rump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stood up like a shot and turned to see Sylvester there. He winked at her. She smiled at him with a finger wag and went back talking to Peter.  At this point I offered her my chair and went to sit with some other friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met Mira because of Peter and his work on Babylon 5.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a gracious lady who was really good to her fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also tended to be the best dressed at the convention with the most amazing collection of shawls and wraps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were convention buddies and would catch-up when we saw each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had great respect for Peter and his writings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will miss her. We now have a Mira sized hole in our universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her role as Delenn on Babylon 5 honestly could only be done by her. She gave the role such wonderful richness. With her accent, she sounded to Americans as alien and other worldly. Her character meant a lot to the fans of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From SpaceCon where we celebrated 20 years of Babylon 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
