Amazed and happy he's still around

[roseembolism]

Back in the early 80s one of the highlights of my fannish life was my motherand I giving the writer Fredrick Pohl a ride to the airport after a group signing. My overwhelming impression was of a soft-spoken elderly gentleman, and of the authors in attendence, his intelligence and attitude was the one I most admired. I think I assumed at some point he had passed away.

Today, courtesy of james_nicoll's blog, I found out that he's not only very much alive, but he has a blog!

Words cannot describe how pleased I am that he's still around, and keeping current.
