I received a very sad email in my box this afternoon. Yael Kfir's sister wrote to say that, "Yael was murderd by a suicide-bomber on September 9th, 2003 (a little more than 6 monthes ago), in Tzrifin (that's near Tel-Aviv), Israel."
Yael was a long-time FoLC and was quite active in the fandom a few years ago. She enjoyed fanfic and regularly sent feedback, both publicly and privately, and joined in on fanfic/L&C discussions. As I recall, she was a college student during her active days on the list, and I believe she would have been in her early 20's when she was killed.
I don't know whether she had joined these message boards (I was notified in regards to the LCFIC yahoo group), but I thought everyone would like to know.
