You speak about different persons. Del Rey
appears treated many times in the prologs of Asimov
in its short stories collections. Oh, and Judy Lynn.
The admiration of the good Doctor for her is more
than evident.
Approaching... If some of you are interested in
Science Fiction, I'm a reader from 10 years old.
I'm ever happy to take contact with other fans to
this genre in all the world. In Spain the fandom is
growing lightly but we are actually a modest great pack
of green dogs.
Fans of old 30' to 60' old movies of Horror and Sci-Fi,
and non-fanatic Trekkies and Fivers are welcome too.
Off list, ofcourse :-)
Greetings
Sergio
