    You've been a great writer! You will be remembered. May all your books not end up in fires.

            About 11 years ago I saw him on Fox News talking about how upset he was with NASA. I was with my girlfriend about to leave to get dinner. I stayed an extra 10 minutes to watch (she didn't know much about him.) At that time I realized how amazing it was that Bradbury and Vonnegut were both alive. In my eyes, they were living icons, both of a time passed, and also a type of creativity, ambition, and rebelliousness that is rarely seen in such a combination. I was really upset when Vonnegut died, and this, as foreseeable as it was, is just as upsetting. Oh yeah, and since then, my girlfriend has read as much Bradbury as me.

              Indeed, this is sad news. Bradbury's writings opened wonderful doors in my mind in my teenage years[^]. :rose: Bill
