Ralph C. Hamilton — His Memory is a Blessing
Ralph C. Hamilton, a personal assistant of Alfred Korzybski's in the late 1940s, died yesterday, in his 90s after a brief period of failing health. You'll read about Ralph and some of what he had to say about his friend Alfred in Korzybski: A Biography. Ralph gave me a tremendous amount of time and help; we became friends and I'll miss him. I had just sent Ralph a bound galley proof of the book and his son, Bruce, told me that he was able to tell his father that it was out, and the he (Ralph) had a prominent place in it. Ralph smilingly replied, 'That will ensure my notoriety.'

From the Stray Thought Bin – 'Experts'
Some experts end up making problems overly complicated, as opposed to experts who end up making solutions as simple as possible.

Korzybski Biography Update-6/20/2011
Terribly remiss I have been, dear readers.
I apologize for the sparsity of my blog posts here as of late. But I have a great excuse.
We (Susan, my wife and editor, and I) just finished an almost all-consuming, two-week period of final proofreading and have now submitted the book files to the printer for publication. We expect to release the book to the public very soon. It will take a short time to get it available on Amazon.com and other places. But for those of you who have been eager to see the book, it's not long in coming now. I think you'll like it and I'm nigh sure you'll learn some surprising things about Korzybski and 'general semantics' that you didn't know before.
