Special Dedication

   LitFest 2009 is dedicated to the memory of Gordon Morash, writer, editor and connoisseur. 
He died on August of 28th, of colon cancer. Gordon was an active and passionate member of the festival’s Programming Committee, and had a huge capacity for joy – in the written word, and in many other things. 

We will miss him very much.
