Man, my sister STILL imitates that thing!

douglasSPOh, no! That's horrible news!
Fred Pohl was the reigning grey eminence of science fiction. He had such an engrossing blog, too!
Another giant (and friend to Ray) has fallen.

philnicWent looking for other photos from that event, and re-stumbled upon Doug Spaulding's Youtube clip of Ray talking to/about Fred Pohl (while I sit nearby wearing my customary fixed grin)...
The clip also shows jkt, Mr Dark and the late Nard Kordell.

RichardFor those who never saw it, here is Fred Pohl's posting on his own blog when he learned of Ray's passing last year..all the more poignant given the news of his death yesterday. (And the blog includes a follow-up comment by the Board's very own philnic.)

Reading the post within Richard's link, RB and FP must now once again be sharing many wonderful tales...
Peace.
