And I see Malcolm is going to be there. Looks like fun.

Couldn't the Society spell Fahrenheit right?

When is Ray going to give it up and stop thinking he still looks like a movie star. He's still a handsome fellow but insists that his old photos be used.
I suppose if he could really have his way, he would use some photo of himself at 10 or 12 years old and contend that it's the best photo to use on his book jackets. (He may be right, come to think of it!)

I don't know that he thinks that - whenever I (or anybody else) tries to get a good shot of him for a photo, he says "there is no good angle."

Funny man.

For those who have gmail, you know that when you add another gmail contact to your address book, up pops a photo the user has chosen for their image, and they can see yours.

When I added Ray's gmail address to my address book, the photo that came up was of him around the age of three with those bangs - charming!

Ray may be deluding himself, but what about Tony Curtis (on that same page)?!?

Congratulations, Ray! We love you no matter which picture is used!

Ah, I knew there was a thread for this somewhere. I have just posted a link to a report on this event, over in Resources.
