Great story. Sad to see the passing of such a wonderful writer. For a man with
such a brilliant mind, the stroke must have been incredibly frustrating and at
91, he lived to a ripe old age.

One of the first stories Ray ever told me was about his appearances
in EC Comics. (I was a comics fan so it was a natural area of interest.)
I no longer remember which of the stories appeared in the comics first
-- adaptations of his short stories -- but EC adapted it, according to
Ray, without
Bill Gaines told me the same story years ago. Actually, they combined
TWO of Ray's stories into one, and Ray wrote Bill, and said that he
felt they improved on them by combining them together, but that he
must have forgotten to send a check.
Bill told me he wrote back and asked Ray if he would
Rick,
It is great to hear your story. Ray Bradbury was just the best!!! I met him
several times as a kid at birthday parties that Forrest J. Ackerman used to
hold at his house on Sherbourne Drive in the West L.A. area in the 60's. He was
the nicest of people. No matter who you were, you were
Wow. You are so lucky Rick!

A great story.
Harlan had and still has a listed phone number. His response to calls from
people he doesn't know -- I've known him since the late '60s -- varies but
it's frequently in the direction of what you received. Of course, no one
knows what the person they're calling is doing before
to
be his. When I saw the news come across yesterday, I was so saddened, but what
a great life he had and all the gifts he left us.

a cool story indeed, and sounds about right, knowing the likes of Ray and
Harlan!
Snapped a couple of pix of Ray at Forry Ackerman's 92nd b-day (I hope these

What a great story Rick.When I was a freshman in college at UC San
Diego in 1972, I was part of a college council that organized events for the
school. We had a meeting one night and it was suggested that we have some

I had met Ray many times during my life and we chatted frequently at
shows. I was always quite surprised that he remembered my name.
More than that however, when I was a young teen, and before I had
been introduced to Raymond Chandler, Bradbury was my favorite
novelist and the Martian
I never met Ray Bradbury *OR *Ray Harryhausen, and I doubt I would have
known either one by sight.
But I loved Bradbury stories after I read the EC Comic adaptations as a
kid, and I went on to read his stuff and some of his stories were great and
some pretty hard to follow, but he sure was unlike
