While it is true that much of Donna’s early fanac had revolved around Louisville and Rivercon, she and Ken had resided in various cities since leaving Louisville many years ago, and had lived in a suburb north of Chicago for the past several years. In addition to her work with Afghan Hounds, Donna was a passionate fan of George R.R. Martin’s “Game of Thrones” series.
