Tom JeffordsThanks Ray
I didn't have a good childhood. Others have had far worse I suppose but it was pretty bad. The only thing that saved me and saved me from taking solace in alcohol and drugs was my imagination. When it got bad I could always escape to Mars with Ray Bradbury or explore a new world with the Patrol and Andre Norton. They were my real parents. So thanks guys, you saved my life, I hope I've done you proud and hope to see you again someday.
