A great loss indeed. Bradbury made weather come out of his pages.

I expect Pournelle to have some good things to say about him.

Jerry is a good guy, too. Pournelle and Niven were the favorites of my extended childhood.

I have a letter from Jerry somewhere around here. I wrote him a one-liner, and he sent me back a one-liner that cleared things up. Gotta appreciate an author that writes his fans.

Ah, great minds and all that. I read Jerry almost every day. What a gem!

As for Ray B. I am sad. He more-or-less owned my teenaged years. Someone bought me an omnibus of his short stories when I was 14. I must have read that book 50 times. Nobody could weave prose quite like him.

Dr. Jerry was scrambling today for the press interviews, so I already know he has good things to say about Ray. Contemplating seeing what he has to say at club on Thursday.
