Nard, simply a great collection of photos on your very interesting site. Thanks. My East Coast location makes it impossible to attend the many public events Mr. Bradbury still (amazingly) frequents. I know I would be in the middle of most if proximity were on my side. One of these days....

We sent a letter, some items of congratulations, and a lively card for his 86th last week. A mere 6 days later, we received an large envelope with his distinctive handwriting and one of his wonderful caricatures emblazoned across the front. Enclosed were a couple of magazine articles and a F451 NEA pamphlet (both very nice with brief notes include from Mr. B).

The bottom line, how kind of him to take time, in view of the hundreds of letters and gifts he no doubt received, to respond and send thanks and his Love back our way!! The best message, however, was expressed in the visual appearance of his correspondence. It is the strongest and most vital I have seen in a while. I believe, Biplane and Dandy commented on this about their conversations shared with him in recent days, also. He has so much to share with us all. What a treasure!

Nard, keep them coming! We are all enjoying these photos so much.

Excellent stuff! Ray (today) looks a lot like his mother!
