I have to agree with you, didn’t care for his politics but I remember the first time I met Fred Pohl. I was at my first science fiction convention about 28 years ago. I was running after my then 4 year old son and we nearly knocked into Fred. He was always gracious to me the times we have talked.
His death was not unexpected. However this thread is good as I enjoy hearing from other sci-fi freepers about their contacts with him.
