Thanks Craig & Patricia - wonderful article for a wonderful man.

I just spoke with Ray ten minutes ago, and as I did I could picture him sitting there in his den, surrounded by his metaphors and his family, full of his birthday meal, and glowing with life.

He's the best!

Although the stories from this period are difficult to read, they certainly do paint a picture of an early Bradbury. I enjoyed reading them. And I enjoyed reading this article... thank you!
