In discussion with one of my law professors, the name of Ray Bradbury came up. He lit up. It turns out, one of his favorite experiences when he was a kid was some theater work he did in high school. He had to come up with a piece to audition with, so he used the story "Kaleidescope" as the basis for his audition. He told me Bradbury was one of his favorite writers in his youth and continues to be one of his favorite writers today. He still goes back and reads Bradbury stuff for enjoyment and relaxation.
It's really fascinating to me how many lives Bradbury has touched through his writing. Really amazing accomplishment.
And what was his response when you told of your relationship with the master?

Having been to more than a few events with Mr. B I can say it never amazes me how many people his words have touched…from spacemen to Spielberg…teachers, writers, astrophysicists and so many more.
