Silmaril Death of Karen Wynn Fonstad
Karen Wynn Fonstad, the author of (among other works) The Atlas of Tolkien's Middle-Earth, passed away on March 11, 2005.

Her work in charting and drawing maps of Middle-earth has been an important resource to Tolkien fans worldwide, especially helpful to those who write fan fiction and RPGs. She was also a member of the Éowyn Challenge site's "Walk to Rivendell", where her maps provided the mileage information for many walkers.

We owe her a great debt of thanks; may she rest in peace.
