Name a city on Mars after him, if you want to honor him.

As a kid growing up in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Ray Bradbury was one of my favorites. I was a member of the Doubleday “Science Fiction Book Club†and they printed books and short stories from the Golden Age of science fiction. These were authors like Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, Theodore Sturgeon and A. E. van Vogt. The SciFi Bookclub printed a lot of anthologies and these included Bradbury’s short stories and novels. My two favorites were “Fahrenheit 451†and “The Martian Chroniclesâ€. I saw both movies when they came out, but I was disappointed by the book’s adaption to the silver screen. Until I read Ray’s Wikipedia biography, I had no idea of his other successes in writing. Bradbury was truly a Renaissance man.
