A week ago, we lost our co-head of Costuming, Carole Brown, and it has been a major loss to our community at Chicago TARDIS.

Not only was Carole a Department Head of the convention, but she also was a long-time attendee of the convention and present in the community years before stepping into the role.

She contributed to so much around the convention, and was a caring and wonderful friend to so many of us at the con.

Her absence is already felt, and we hope that you can join us in remembering her with much love.

We will have a tribute to Carole at this year's Chicago TARDIS. More details to come.
