Memorial Held for Sagar Hawkins
August 6th, 2011
A public memorial for Sagar Hawkins was held in Earth’s New York City today. The memorial, which was overflowing with friends, family members, and fans, was broadcast on screens throughout New York City, and was also streamed over the extranet. Emma Salino, the late author’s wife, talked about the need to “remember Sagar from his best days, instead of dwelling on what red sand did to him at the end.” Many of Hawkins fans did not arrive in time to obtain a seat, and instead stood outside and watched the event on the public screens. Most had a similar assessment of the author, and his legacy. According to Ariadne Nelyse, a graduate student of human history at New York University, “Sagar Hawkins is who made me interested in learning more about humans. His death is a terrible loss for the galaxy.”
