I just received a very sweet email from Robert Anton Wilson's daughter, Christina. Here's an excerpt from what she wrote to me, along with a message for all of you that Bob dictated to her.

Our Schismatic Church Of Eris Esoteric (NH Dis-integration) is printing up a fresh run of Pope Cards for R.A.W.

These will be put out for the taking with a request for donations at the CT Renaissance Faire, the Southern NH Pagan Pride Day and anywhere else we can think of that might be friendly to the cause.

All donations will be sent to Bob via his paypal account.

We Discordians can stick the hell apart when we need to.

Hail Eris!

Burroughs is gone.
Leary is gone.

Robert Anton Wilson, is not doing real well right now.

The co-author of the Illuminatus! trilogy and author of Prometheus Rising and the Cosmic Trigger series is in very poor health, and an exceedingly grim financial state just now.

Also known to some of us Pope Bob, Mordecai Malignatus, and a host of other pseudonyms, he is one of the greatest minds of the last 100 years, as a synthesist of science, philosophy and psychology.
