Here is something else Thomas Steinbeck said to Ray and I hope I phrase this right. John Steinbeck, John W. Campbell and Henry Miller got together and decided that three of the best sentences every in print is contained in the Martian Chronicles. Thomas was told that he if could find them each would give him $100. All three passed away before Thomas could find them and to this day he does not know which three they are.

Now it is your turn, what do you think these three literary giants had in mind?

Don't know about all three, nor do I know which three this particular group meant, but one of the sentences is this:

"Nothing happened."


"Love Forever!"
