I happened to pick up a copy at the local bookstore this evening (The Cat's Pajamas)...didn't buy it there...but flipped thru it... and was surprised to see that most of the stories have been unpublished. They were 'discovered' by Donn Albright, old friend, while rummaging thru Ray's basement.

Book is dedicated to Ray's wife, Maggie.

Nard, that sounds like the new collection is just that "THE CATS PAJAMAS". I will order one
soon from the Bookstore at work. It sounds good. I have yet to find some book store that stocks all of Rays current work. I am glad that he is still in good health. Howdy to the rest of you out there in the electronic ethernet. I have been so busy with life I have not made very many posts.

Uncle,

I don't know how Ray does it, but he seems to have unbelievable energy. I spoke with him just the other day and he said that he was working a new book and two new ones are coming out in early 2005. Wow?

My wife and I are hoping to visit with him in October when we are visiting my son. I post how that goes.

You will enjoy The Cat's Pajamas very much.

Much talk of DVD collection in the past and some sightings on e-bay recently, so here is a look for those interested: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=2193

It seems as if broad release is not yet available. I am sure they will become more prevalent in the coming weeks.

It looks promising - long awaited, too!

Thanks, that is very good news. I gobbled every one of them up when they were on air. Some very good stuff.

Having just finished Rocket Man and the Rocket (in Illustrated Man unit), as he retires it seems appropriate to appreciate for a moment the efforts of John Young, one of NASA's pioneers, true space heroes, and A very Classy American:
