We already knew this, but:

(He talks about Ray in the last couple of paragraphs of the scanned article, but the whole thing is pretty interesting.)

Author Matthew J. Pallamary is inspired by Ray:

In the Feb 10 Coast to Coast radio show, [/URL] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...ernTvfeBnCsbhH]Coast
Richard Back, author of Johnathan Livingston seagull, talks about his near-death experience, cites Ray as one of his favourite authors, and recalls the time they met.

I'll bet David Erik Nelson is inspired by Ray.

His time travel story in the June 2014 issue of Asimov's Science Fiction is titled "There Was No Sound of Thunder".

No link, because the issue isn't out yet.

Surely someone in this link is inspired by Ray's THE ILLUSTRATED MAN:

...whereas Alice Rogers Hager seems to have secured a few of her title words BEFORE Bradbury got there:

And Ray must have written the sequel!

Just for clarification, Ray was second to the title, thusly:

The Wonderful Ice Cream Cart (Hager) = 1955
"The Wonderful Ice-Cream Suit" (Bradbury) = 1958
The Wonderful Ice Cream (Harris) = 1966

Artist Tim Youd is inspired by Ray:

A manual typewriter and a piece of chalk . . .

(Yes. Inspired! You could have been an English teacher - - 40 yrs. ago

If I am not mistaken, that's an older model of typewriter than that on which the book was originally written!
