He's old and fragile, and was hospitalized a while back, which required selling some of his collection to pay medical bills. But he's still with us.

I too prefer SF to Sci-Fi, not because Sci-Fi is a bad term, but because it's been co-opted by those who think of the genre in a derogatory fashion.

Precisely the problem. SF is more acceptable now than it once was, but there's still a fair residue of the days when you put your SF in a plain brown wrapper to disguise its provenance, and were circumspect about whom you admitted what you read to.
