I came back from lunch to find out that a friend of ours Maddie Blaustein (aka Kendra Bancroft in Second Life) passed away last week.  We met through Second Life a long time ago in a far off galaxy and met in the real world at the first Second Life Convention in 2005. Theres so much I could say about her. She was one of the most fearless kick ass people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I’m not sure what happened. The only reports I’ve seen are that she passed away in her sleep after a brief illness. She was a voice actress for several anime series, most notably she was the voice of Meowth in Pokemon. She will be missed.
