We got the sad news this week that Georgiann Makropoulos has passed away. Though never close friends, I had corresponded with Georgie dating back to 1991 when I was first publishing a newsletter, and she was editor of the Wrestling Chatterbox fanzine. We would trade issues of each other's newsletter by mail regularly for the next several years, and she continued to send it to me long after I had ceased publishing and had broken into the business itself. I finally got a chance to meet Georgie when I was getting my feet wet as a ring announcer on the east coast for Dennis Coralluzzo and Angel Amoroso. She was always the nicest person ever, and always helpful in answering questions. In recent years, she always helped spread the word about independent shows I was involved with whenever I would send her news updates. She will be greatly missed!

Post your memories of Georgiann in the following thread at The SHIMMER Forum...
