Say Oscar Deadwood, where in northern Minnesota did you work in a small theatre? I lived in Willmar for 28 years. Don't miss the cold and snow.

Braling II, I forgot that we had a nice chat some time ago and I think I tried calling you not too long ago but caught you at a bad time. I'll try to dig up your phone number and call you, hopefully, at a better time.

Yes, Biplane, do that! I'm pretty booked 'til after our concert May 6th. Maybe the following Sunday afternoon (our time)?

Hi, I was born in Georgia in Dec. of 1956,and started reading Mr.Bradbury's books in 1970.how could anyone not relate to DANDELION WINE??I have read it 5 or 6 times as well as several others at least 3 times.He is the quintissential wizard of wonder,weaving words together like some lost puzzle,fitting every syllable neatly into a patchwork of dreams to mesmerize and amaze us at his pleasure.God Bless Ray Bradbury! the Poet R.C.Douglas

'The 13th Day of Christmas' is coming soon.
Enough said. Those who understand...will.

Adventure Books of Seattle

I had to say that. We are receiving a lot of emails about this book and I recognized some of the usernames from here. Patience...soon....

I know some of you are sci-fi writers, or you would not be here. If you aren't ready for a novel, perhaps you could try to sub a shorter piece or a Department contribution to our new magazine, Escape Velocity.
See the site above for details. Easy to find the page...it says what?
Right...Escape Velocity Magazine.
I was born in San Francisco and my mother dragged me around the world until we settled in Seattle. If you have ever seen the film 'Auntie Mame,' you'll know what that was like. (lol)

Hello biplane1,

Warroad Minnesota is where I lived. Very, very cold.

Warroad, Minnesota in the hinterlands of coldness, very close proximity to the great country of Canada, vying for coldest temperature with International Falls, and doesn't Polaris snowmobile company have a plant there?

Hello, All, still working in the Library 17 years sorta, and counting...boring work sitting at the service desk at the East side. Nothing to do but, read, and give directions to lost souls that wander in. "uncle"

Polaris snowmobiles are made in Roseau, twenty miles to the west of Warroad. However, Christian Bros. hockey sticks and Marvin Windows are made in Warroad, the window factory probably employing eighty percent of the workforce, or something like that. I haven't been there in fifteen years, though my mother lives in McIntosh, in between Bemidji and Grand Forks, ND, and my brother is a dean at a technical school in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

Oscar, thanks for reminding me. I knew that there was something big in Warroad. Anderson Windows is big, maybe not as big as Pella Windows, but big. When we drove from Minnesota to Ottumwa we would drive by the big plant in Pella, Iowa where they manufacture Pella Windows. Pella is a Dutch community and looked so sharp every spring as every home had tulips in front.

The technical school wouldn't be Dunwoody would it, or perhaps Hennipin Technical?

Boston, Ma. area (in a burb called North Reading). Just joined - great site.

Sounds like a dream job to me!

Since last updating in mid-2004, made a move...
...to South Orange County, California. That's about 60- some miles south from ol' Ray's homestead. Fullerton, my old stomping grounds, is about 30 miles distance. Disneyland, about the same distance. Out here, it's very easy to put on 100 miles a day on the car. Unfortunately, gas prices in some areas have hit $3.90 a gallon and up. Most gas prices around the area here range in reg. $3.50 and up. Freeway traffic usually careens at about 80 plus mph. At rush hour, it snails down to 8.5 mph. Wise to know the exact time you plan traveling. Palm Springs is about a 90 mile drive. The San Diego Comic -Con coming up soon, with Ray in attendance, is roughly 75 miles south of here.

Nard, thanks for the posting of Ray at the book fair. How do you post photos in that format? I have scanning and attaching down pretty good, but what you do is really neat. Can you tell us?

Nard, you sound like you are pretty close to where my son lives, which is a bit south of LOng Beach, in a community called Portola Hills.
Anywhere near?

The school is called Brown.

And a library sounds like a dream job to me too.

Brown Institute (I believe that is what it is called) is an old and well known, very respected school, known quite a bit for broadcasting.
