Discordian Louise Lacey has died

Adam Gorightly reports that he has learned his old friend Louise Lacey has died. 

If you've read Adam's work, you'll recognize the name; during a colorful life, her friends included Kerry Thornley, Eldridge Cleaver and Mr. Gorightly himself. Her career included working for an Objectivist book publisher in Chicago and for Ramparts magazine. She helped Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart when Hart wrote a book on drumming. She was an advocate for restoring native plants in California.

Adam Gorightly on Week 52 of Illuminatus!

Louise Lacey, aka Lady L FAB. Is she only a Discordian, or also a member of the Illuminati? 

Adam Gorightly has very helpfully supported this blog's efforts to discuss Illuminatus! with a series of posts on the Discordian background of the work. Adam has written three books  on Discordianism and on Kerry Thornley and maintains a website on Discordian history and lore.  (All of Adam's posts on Discordianism and Illuminatus! are archived here.)

Adam has weighed in again with a new post explaining the origins of the Hassan i Sabbah X character in the book; he's mentioned in the section being discussed this week. The name first surfaces in an August 7, 1968, letter written by Kerry Thornley to Louise Lacey. Adam's post reproduces the letter and goes into detail about the "Bavarian Illuminati" at Cal Berkeley.
