Year-in-Review: July deaths
Gene-Gabriel Moore leaves two significant art legacies: In 1982, he and a group of Atlanta writers created the Townsend Prize for Fiction, one of Georgia's top literary honors and in 2005, he founded the Suzi Bass Awards, the city's only professional theater honors. Earlier in his life, he had suffered a series of strokes and surgeries that affected his speech and left him physically disfigured, all which inspired him into theater. He passed away on July 26.
